Jelurida: Blockchain Anywhere With Ardor on Android
Until now, only a light client functionality was supported on mobile devices. Creation of new blocks, a critical part of any blockchain, and many important Ardor features - bundling, automated funding, coin shuffling - all require running a server. The full node on Android package now opens access to all this functionality on modern smartphones.
Maintaining its own copy of the blockchain, the mobile device becomes a full-fledged participant in the network, as reliable as a dedicated server, except that it can be with the user all the time, not in a remote datacenter. IoT projects will now appreciate the flexibility to integrate Android based smart meters and industrial sensors directly with the blockchain.
says
Petko Petkov , the engineer leading Jelurida's Android initiative.
The shift from hosted server nodes to portable devices makes the blockchain more resilient against external attacks, data-tampering, and censorship. While a proof-of-stake blockchain does not depend on "mining farms," if most nodes are physically located in a few datacenters, a natural disaster or coordinated attack can still cause major disruptions. However, when numerous mobile devices, all over the world, in physical possession of their owners, actively participate in the proof-of-stake consensus, the resilience of the blockchain against natural or human adversaries is ramped up to a whole new level.
The unique consensus-as-a-service model of the Ardor blockchain ensures that this improved decentralization, security, and network resilience will immediately benefit all Jelurida business customers with a dedicated child chain as well as those building applications on top of the Ignis child chain.
