A complete guide to the blockchain app development

Being a distributed, encrypted, and immutable digital ledger, blockchain has gained considerable attention from the tech community across the globe. With the advent of the blockchain, every centralized application can be decentralized, eliminating intermediaries, bringing transparency and securing data.

Here is the step-by-step guide to the blockchain app development process:

1. Figure out the strategy for application:

It is the initial phase where you have to determine the strategy for the blockchain application. There is a need to figure out if your business requires blockchain implementation or not.
If it requires blockchain, make sure to identify the possible use-cases of blockchain for your business capabilities.

2. Determine the blockchain type:

Once you have decided to build the blockchain app for your business, you should choose whether the blockchain database will be private, public or hybrid.

  • Private/Permissioned blockchain:
    A private blockchain network requires permission and should be validated by either by a network starter or rules defined by the network starter itself. This type of blockchain puts restrictions on who is allowed to participate in a network and what transactions.
  • Public blockchain:
    The blockchain network is broadly available to everyone and therefore, anyone can access the transaction’s history, create new transactions and validate those transactions into the blocks.
  • Hybrid blockchain:
    The hybrid blockchain is a combination of private and public blockchain which is managed by a predefined set of nodes. With the help of a restricted access blockchain, every organization can maintain its intellectual property rights within the consortium.

3. Analyze the available application:

The next step is to analyze whether the existing application can be integrated with blockchain APIs or you will have to build a blockchain app from scratch.

4. Test your idea with Proof-of-Concept:

A proof-of-concept is required to check the viability and practical potential of the blockchain application that you are planning to build.
Every project requires theoretical cases and a prototype to get an idea of how a blockchain-based application is going to work.

5. Start the blockchain app development:

When it comes to the development of any application, it is first essential to understand the tools, frameworks, and platforms required for building an app.

The app development is done in multiple phases including, pre-alpha, alpha, beta, and production phase.

6. Deploy the application:

Deploying the application means putting it onto a prepared application server. But before making an application live, make sure to deploy it first on the test network for testing its capabilities.

Once it passes the user acceptance testing, it is ready to get launched on Google Play, App Store or other application outlets.

This comprehensive guide to the blockchain app development will help you get a better knowledge of the development process for the blockchain applications.
