Scalable blockchain network provides the basis for more secure, stable coding for developers

Git open source repositories are a popular method of storing code. Unfortunately, a high degree of centralization means that there is a single control point – arousing fear of the prospect of censorship resistance and security. And as more code is written, it may become less secure.

Solutions are now being developed for the teams that manage these open source code repositories – with decentralized autonomous organizations sometimes tasked with building consensus around a code. They can encourage and motivate developers to look at the code and confirm its security.

The technology of the Everscale Network, a single blockchain recognized for its stability and high performance, directly solves this gap with a decentralized on-chain git source holder, better known as GOSH, developed by EverX, Pruvendo, KWPC and Blockchain Family. As a separate blockchain based on Everscale technology, this has become a go-to for securing the global open source software supply chain that exists solely as a toolkit for the larger network.

To put the benefits of this release into perspective, GOSH looks to Docker, a technology company that develops productivity tools to automate code distribution in software containers, for approval. Docker has announced a beta version of Docker Extensions, a marketplace where developers can take advantage of additional tools and workflows, integrating them into existing projects.

As part of the launch of Docker Extensions, a number of different partners were engaged to integrate a total of 16 extensions – six of which focus on securing the software supply chain. For the rest of the industry, these findings indicate the importance of security and stability for companies and the development community as a whole.

We introduce the security block

By taking a closer look at the Docker Extensions security block, users will find an original application of blockchain technology via the tool chain. When used, the extension will help verify that each container on the Docker remains safe and unchanged. Therefore, developers have the assurance that their containers were built with only the components specified in the associated smart contracts.

To achieve this, the extension should be built entirely on the same technology as Everscale, create one blockchain network mentioned earlier. The platform’s high number of transactions per second (TPS) is a product of dynamic breakdown mechanisms, which ensure that millions of transactions can be processed per second with reduced fees. For these reasons, the Everscale network has been recognized as one of the most scalable networks available.

When it comes to stability, Everscale has not been exposed to major downtime or other malfunctions during its two-year history, illustrating that it has been a reliable choice from the beginning. While other networks have sometimes gone down, Everscale has been robust. Taken together, Docker’s utilization of Everscale technology through GOSH as part of their ecosystem becomes a pretty logical decision.

With other networks, Docker would probably have to strike a balance between performance and stability. Since GOSH and Everscale offer both, the application network is an ideal choice for decentralized security applications (DApps).

For mutual benefit

A successful recommendation of Everscale technology is expected to create significant interest in several other large IT companies, which in turn add liquidity pools to the platform with GOSH tokens.

However, the benefits of this application will extend far beyond the Everscale network alone. Based on the information provided by project developers, GOSH’s early sales token will include a program known as EverLock, where a certain portion of Evers will be focused on Gosh exclusively by users of the Everscale network.
