Open Source + Blockchain Technology =

Accessible Blockchain

Blockchain technology can be applied to so much more than just cryptocurrency. It can automate processes in a transparent and reliable way. Validana uses the general ideas and principles of blockchain and applies it to familiar contexts, making it suitable for governments, educational organizations and business. Validana maintains the speed and security of blockchain, but adds flexibility and ease in the way it works.

When using Validana, you can count on the following principles

Security

Just like bitcoin, all user transactions are assigned an unfalsifiable digital signature. This way, you will know which data was added by whom at any time.

Speed

Unlike many other blockchain systems, Validana doesn’t use energy wasting components and all transactions are processed within five seconds.

Modularity

Validana is well documented and offers open API interfaces that can be linked to new and existing systems using common web techniques.

Transparency

Every node in Validana receives a copy of the entire transaction history and the rules. This way, everyone can understand and check what is happening.

Smart contracts

Validana has its own specification for smart contracts. Contracts can be updated while your application is running without losing any information.

Reusable code

Validana consists of five components: server, client, processor, node and core. All code is written in TypeScript and can be applied to existing applications.

Combining with Open Badges

By combining the Open Badges standard with the open Validana platform we have created a trustworthy exchange for microcredentials.
