When Kaleido, a Raleigh, NC based company, brought the Blockchain Business Cloud to market, blockchain development took a leap forward. For the first time, developers had access to a full-stack SaaS platform for creating, operating, and scaling enterprise-grade blockchain solutions. Kaleido made it possible to deploy blockchain nodes across clouds and geographies with a single click, and then get to production quickly with over 400 APIs and pre-built services.
Today, Kaleido continues to make blockchain development radically simple, while providing enterprises the flexibility and choice they need to choose their own tech stack. At the protocol level, users can choose between a number of major protocols including Ethereum, Polygon Edge, Hyperledger Fabric, Quorum, Hyperledger Besu and Corda. When it comes time to deploy, AWS, Azure, on-premise, or a hybrid of all three are available for hosting. Throughout the Kaleido platform, customizations are available to give enterprises the ability to pick the open source technologies that are best for their use case.
Besides constant improvements to their platform, Kaleido also donated and leads one of the fastest growing open source projects for enterprise blockchain, Hyperledger FireFly. Fully supported on the Kaleido platform, FireFly is the first open source Supernode: a complete stack for enterprises to build and scale secure web3 applications. It makes building blockchain applications across both public and private chains dramatically faster and cheaper, making it easier than ever for enterprises to harness the power of web3.
The completeness of Kaleido’s platform and their open source leadership with projects like FireFly, has made Kaleido the trusted partner of hundreds of enterprise partners across industries as varied as finance, insurance, healthcare, supply management, media and entertainment, and gaming. They choose Kaleido for its enterprise-grade infrastructure and expertise in getting enterprise projects to production.
Kaleido is proud to make complicated technologies accessible to people tasked with solving complex problems. It’s this mission to democratize the business tools of tomorrow that has led to partnerships with titans of industry and novel startups alike—all in the name of bringing ideas to production faster.
Kaleido will power the business systems of tomorrow and is committed to making blockchain and web3 radically simple for enterprises to adopt.
ENTERPRISE BLOCKCHAIN
Enterprises turn to blockchain to build solutions with complex trust parameters and automate transactions atop shared IT. But beyond trust and scale, enterprises are choosing blockchain and digital assets to prepare for web3, the next evolution of the world wide web.
See, in a predictable business environment a company can invest in infrastructure, process, and back office systems that allow them to compete. In a linear economy, technology exists statically in support of front line employees.
But how do we build business systems when the future is unknown? How do we architect solutions not in spite of unpredictability but because of it—to accelerate automation and empower us to embrace rather than fight decentralization?
Blockchain is readiness. Dynamic databases, smart applications, and flexible networks for when agility is table stakes.
Today, markets move on memes, public health reshapes economies, and corporate partnerships span industries. Adding this complex business climate is a push and pull of globalization and retraction, some regions focused on inclusion and others on protection. Yet more, alongside this ocean of uncertainty, distributed ledger technology powers a parallel universe, decentralized systems in finance, insurance, and entertainment. The businesses of today need a way to span these forming worlds. To compete, businesses need to build with an eye toward this unknown.
This has made blockchain and digital assets the technology for the company that wants to be ready for web3. It offers future-proof interoperability—and not just between systems or institutions but more to bridge the widening gap between where we are today, what we know now, and what comes after. Blockchain allows us to connect private and public, digitize legacy systems, and unite tradition with tomorrow.
We need ways for competitors to collaborate, sure. But we also need ways to conduct business safely with anonymous parties. We need to prepare for transactions in zero trust. Governments need to interface with actors of all shapes, dispositions, and sizes. And all these unwritten instances need to be secure and simple to use, complete with familiar interfaces, wallets, and portals designed for people.
When we think about what is to come, what we’ve yet to learn, blockchain becomes less about better systems today and more an aggressive stance toward tomorrow. It allows the enterprise to build for uncertainty and harness doubt as its advantage.
We choose blockchain because we are determined to solve problems, build businesses, and help people in a world we can’t picture. With blockchain, we choose to be ready for what comes next.
