Blockchain technology has been on a continuous growth curve over the last few years. There are several cryptocurrency platforms that allow you to build dApps on their respective blockchains. It’s likely that there will be many more in the near future.
Right now, the top platforms to build dApps on are Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, EOS, Qtum, Cardano and NEO. Some are fully operational (Ethereum), while others are still in the development phase (Cardano).
There are many ways to implement blockchain technology to improve your business. One of those is through dApp development on a popular cryptocurrency platform, such as Ethereum or Qtum.
Today, dApp development requires a specialized blockchain developer. You can either hire one to work solely for your business, or you can work with an outside firm with dApp development experience. Coding a smart contract and creating an effective dApp requires skill and experience. At the current rate that blockchain technology is progressing, heavy coding skills may not be required to code dApps and smart contracts in five years.
There are a few blockchain companies that are focused on building a platform that would allow dApps to be created easily. Companies such as WordPress and Squarespace make creating a website a fairly simple process.
There was a point in time when creating a website required computer coding skills. You had to know HTML and CSS to launch even the simplest website. Today, we have amazing tools that allow us to launch a website, with a basic layout, with a few clicks of the mouse. That was impossible before WordPress was created in 2005.
The same type of progress will be made with dApp development in the next five years. Neblio is already working on a secure platform where dApps can be built and run on their very own Neblio blockchain.
Neblio is working to drive the growth of blockchain technology in the enterprise/ business space. In the short term, we can expect them to have tools and services that will allow enterprises to launch decentralized applications.
It will likely be so simple that it will not require a smart contract coding professional. That’s how fast blockchain technology is progressing. If you keep up-to-date with the popular cryptocurrency news sites, you’ll notice how every week brings big developments within the community.
You can count on other blockchain companies to try to become the WordPress of decentralized applications for businesses and individuals. In upcoming years, it might be normal for individuals to have their own decentralized applications, just as individuals have personal blogs today.
High consumer demand will put pressure on dApps to become easier to create and build. It will also create the opportunity for a business to create something that’s meaningful and helpful.
In the meantime, if you need assistance with your own dApp development, contact a seasoned professional familiar with all the latest developments in blockchain technology.
