Huawei Cloud officially launched its Blockchain Service (BCS) for global use on November 15 after launching it for commercial use in China on October 10th.
Now available on the international Huawei Cloud website, the service helps global enterprises and developers create, deploy, and manage blockchain applications quickly and at minimal cost. Its global launch lays the foundations for a distributed global blockchain platform.
As early as 2016, Huawei joined Hyperledger, the most influential open source project in the blockchain field, hosted by the Linux Foundation. For its continuous technical and code contributions in two sub-projects, Fabric and STL, it has been recognized as a key Hyperledger maintainer. Huawei is also the only maintainer from Asia in these sub-projects.
BCS is easy to use, efficient, and universally applicable, and can be used in data applications, the Internet of Things (IoT), finance, and other fields. The scenarios it can be used in cover data transactions, identity authentication, proof of information (such as real estate and education), remote healthcare, food source tracing, the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), and IoT device management. It offers substantial assistance for establishing a technological ecosystem and digitally transforming industries.
