Working to put intellectual property on the blockchain (IP over IP) since August 2013, it became clear that scalability was a fundamental barrier to wider adoption of blockchain.
|
|
|
|
We released a whitepaper in early 2015 highlighting the ideal characteristics of a scalable blockchain and a few months later, we decided to try to tackle the scalability problem ourselves. By December 2015, we came up with a solution that was piloted with several lead customers.

|
|
|
The result is BigchainDB, a scalable blockchain database for the world.
