Middleware can fix the blockchain industry’s fragmented Dapp architecture: Huobi Ventures report
London, United Kingdom
–News live–
With the rapid development of the blockchain industry, various public chains have emerged and led to differences in programming languages, technical standards and communication data standards. A new report from Huobi Ventures has highlighted the role that unified middleware can play in resolving such differences in a decentralized application architecture system (Dapp), by bringing together fragmented product forms to make it easier for developers and users to use.
Intermediate is the key to developing new applications by supporting modern, standard runtime environments for a variety of applications. It can also optimize existing applications by enabling developers to convert traditional monolithic applications to cloud-based applications, giving valuable tools a new life, with higher performance and greater portability.
However, the emergence of Dapps has created a fragmented product landscape, which has resulted in limited attention spans for both developers and users. The need to purchase ETH tokens to pay for gas taxes constitutes an entry barrier for regular Dapp users, which is reinforced by the number of Dapps in the market. Developers also have headaches from working with a range of technical standards under different public chain platforms, RPC services and data on different chains, which translates into huge workloads.
In addition, the decentralized nature of the Dapp application architecture leads to a pause in connection with the user, without an efficient messaging channel. This poses a major challenge for Dapps in their day-to-day marketing operations, as well as secondary marketing activities.
Huobi Ventures Senior Investment Manager Jinbin Xie, author of the report, said: “The market contradictions we have seen in the fragmented Dapp architecture system are just the tip of the iceberg. However, the differences arising from different technologies can be addressed with a unified middleware product. the huge challenges the development process poses, both for people and applications. The mindset is to identify differences and mistakes, and then correct them; and gather everything that can achieve a networking effect. “
The report also cited NFX’s research on network effects, which found that the use of network effect models such as Metcalfe’s law would add significant value to intermediate goods. Metcalfe’s law states that the value of a system with compatible communication devices correlates with the square of the number of devices in it. The report provided an analysis of specific application scenarios with potential network effects, spanning protocol networks such as cMix, peer-to-peer file system, cross-chain communication, Libp2p / IPLD and Infura api, etc.
