AntChain, the blockchain arm of Alibaba Group’s affiliate company Ant Group, has launched a high-speed and long-distance blockchain communication technology called Blockchain Transmission Network (BTN).
The firm said that BTN can help improve blockchains’ data throughput and stability with high-speed internet technology. It claimed that BTN can increase the throughput of blockchain networks by 186% and reduce transmission latency by 40% while cutting the cost of bandwidth by as much as 80%.
Antchain also launched the AntChain Module-as-a-Service (MaaS) integrated computing module for simplified blockchain deployment, which lowers the costs of deploying blockchain hardware and ensures the security and immutability of transmitting data with technologies that include silicon root of trust, digital signature at source and end-to-cloud integration.
