On the 13th September 2018, Jerry Cuomo, IBM Fellow and Vice President Blockchain Technologies at IBM, announced the launch of Unbounded Registry by HACERA with IBM joining as a founding member.
Unbounded Registry is a blockchain platform built by HACERA to serve as the “Yellow pages” of blockchain. As Jerry mentions in his post, Unbounded Registry provides a decentralized means to register, look up, join and transact across many blockchain solutions. It is capable of interoperating with popular distributed ledger technologies such as Corda by R3, Hyperledger Fabric by Linux Foundation, IBM, etc.
“Hacera combines enterprise cool- grade security, privacy and interoperability capabilities to fuel the next generation of blockchains”
The ability to filter by the above parameters makes discovering new blockchain solutions a straightforward task – you should try this for yourself, perhaps, you may learn something new!
HACERA has addressed two major hurdles:
From a blockchain network owner standpoint, Unbounded Registry provides a platform to increase awareness about the network, showcase the benefits accruing to network members and increase network adoption.
Unbounded Registry is still in its early days, but, there are avenues for improvement – the landing page for many networks listed on the registry feels quite empty. We have some suggestions we’d like to offer them:
A landing page is a critical point of engagement and should provide an overview of the network, focus on the customer/user journey or highlight the interface which could encourage potential participants to sign up to join the network.
Unbounded Registry democratizes information about blockchain solutions; such information would have to earlier be obtained by constantly sifting through social media feed, news portal updates and company press releases. The ability to access at the click of a button a decentralized directory to view, interact with, learn about and keep up to date with different blockchain solutions is a huge step forward.
