2.
3. “Bitcoin is a database for the planet”
and
“Blockchains are databases”
4. “Bitcoin is a database for the planet”
But…
Where’s the queries? Where’s the scale?
5. “Bitcoin is a database for the planet”
But…
Queries? Scale?
….
What if we had this?
What would that look like?
Could we truly get a database at planetary scale?
6. The first “Blue Ocean” DBs: Relational
DBs
Benefits: powerful structured querying
Winner: Oracle, 80s and 90s
7. The next “Blue Ocean” DB:
Website-ready DBs
New benefits: lightweight for startups
Winner: MySQL, early 2000s
8. The next “Blue Ocean” DB: Distributed / NoSQL DBs
New benefits: “Big data” scale, flexible schemas
Winner: MongoDB, late 2000s-now
9. The next blue ocean DB: blockchain database
New benefits: decentralized, immutable, native assets
Who: BigchainDB
11. BigchainDB: best of traditional DBs & blockchains
= a blockchain database
Immutability
Decentralized Control
Native Assets
Scalable
Queryability
Operationalized
Traditional
Dist. Databases
Traditional
blockchains
BigchainDB
13. Centralized (but distributed)
compute infrastructure
FILE SYSTEM
e.g. S3, HDFS
DATABASE
e.g. MySQL,
MongoDB / Atlas
APPLICATION
PLATFORM
e.g. Azure
PROCESSING
e.g. EC2
29. “Decentralized Atlas”
Runs BigchainDB + MongoDB
Anyone can write, anyone can read
Permissions as assets
Sweet spots: ID, IP
IPDB
(Interplanetary Database)
30. A few more
Financial network interoperability – Interledger / Ripple
Loyalty and Reward System – CapGemini
Financial Infrastructure – 17 POCs with one partner
Voting – SettleMint
National identity system (>10M people) - <coming soon>
Fix social media filter bubble – <coming soon>
Personal data consent – <coming soon>
<<waiting list on IPDB – 200+ of orgs>>
31. BigchainDB is a scalable blockchain database
For the planet, and the enterprise.
Let’s hack! Let’s ship!
