ArcBlock Upgrades Forge Application Framework with New Features and Tools for Blockchain Developers

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Forge Framework, the next-generation blockchain application development framework and from ArcBlock is the easiest way for developers to create custom blockchains and to build decentralized applications (DApps).  Forge Framework removes many of today’s limitations of existing blockchain development platforms, and lets developers focus on what they do best – write code – and Forge will do the rest.   Since Forge’s initial release, ArcBlock has been listening to the developer and user community and is happy to announce the launch of several new developer tools that simplify Dapp development.

Forge Simulator

Starting today, developers can begin using Forge Simulator a new testing tool designed to simulate traffic, behavior and load on a DApp and blockchain.  Developers can start testing with a single click, or create their own tests by simply modifying the parameters.  By default, the system will create 10,000 users on the chain and use various transaction types including declare, transfer, exchange, account migration and more.   Forge Simulator is available today for developers through the Forge Framework, or the ABT Blockchain Node.

Forge Transactions

Forge Framework now includes the broadest transaction support of any blockchain development platform with almost 20 different transaction protocols.   Each transaction represents a transaction protocol and is functionally similar to Ethereum smart contracts.  By default, Forge includes a core set of transaction protocols and these are required for any custom Forge blockchain.  Developers also have protocols that can be added including governance and staking.   With these new upgrades, ArcBlock also provides the real-time status for any active transaction protocol, versioning and notifications when an upgrade is needed.

Blockchain Node Upgrades

ArcBlock’s Automatic Chain Upgrades solve a problem for developers on how to keep their blockchain software up to date.  With any upgrade scenario developers have to ensure that their node’s consensus is maintained, and they avoid any an unintended forks.  This process is difficult and requires a significant amount of planning.  Developers now have a new transaction protocol called upgrade_node that allows the node to automatically upgrade by simply setting a block height where the upgrade will take place to a particular version of software, and while the designated block is being generated, the upgrade will occur including verification of the software and removal of the previous software version.  When the new block is generated, the software is complete.

“Not only is building custom blockchains and DApps easy with Forge, we are solving the most challenging problems by getting feedback from our users and providing the tools and services to solve those problems,” said Tyr Chen, VP of Engineering at ArcBlock.  “Whether it’s testing their Dapp, writing smart contracts, or performing upgrades, developers Forge Framework will help them be successful.”

Forge is already being utilized by a significant number of partners and clients to design, build and run their decentralized apps and services including issuance of travel visas and licenses, IP protection for video game assets and identity management.   Learn more by visiting the ArcBlock website or start with Forge SDK today.

DUBAI, UAE, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a bold move to address the challenges of the highly fragmented African healthcare sector, XRP Healthcare is excited to announce the incorporation of XRP Healthcare Africa, in Uganda. This strategic decision marks a significant step towards consolidating healthcare services and streamlining operations across the continent, fostering a more unified and efficient healthcare landscape.

 

XRP Healthcare recognizing the critical need for an integrated healthcare system, has taken decisive action by establishing XRP Healthcare Africa, in Uganda – a fully autonomous entity with a compliant legal structure to operate on the African continent.

This development is a testament to XRP Healthcare’s commitment to creating a sustainable and independent operational framework in Uganda and Africa.

“Our vision for XRP Healthcare Africa is to create a robust and unified healthcare entity that can efficiently address the needs of the African population,” stated CEO/Founder Kain Roomes at XRP Healthcare. “By consolidating our mergers and acquisitions local operations under XRP Healthcare Africa, we are eliminating dependencies on third-party entities such as The Burnratty Investment Group, which will no longer be part of our plans moving forward, but rather we have opted for a fully owned entity such as XRP Healthcare Africa, ensuring a streamlined and cohesive approach towards achieving our M&A goals here in Uganda.”

The Dubai-incorporated arm of XRP Healthcare, established last year in the UAE, will be pivotal in facilitating the organization’s acquisitions across the continent. Additionally, the recent incorporation of XRP Healthcare Africa in Uganda signifies a strategic move to enhance the company’s ability to manage local transactions and operations efficiently, further solidifying its presence and commitment to improving healthcare in Africa.

“Setting up XRP Healthcare Africa in Uganda is a critical step in our strategy to deepen our engagement with local communities,” explained Laban Roomes, Business Development Officer at XRP Healthcare. “This local incorporation allows us to navigate the unique challenges and opportunities within the African healthcare sector more effectively, ensuring that our efforts are closely aligned with the needs of the communities we serve.”

Over the coming weeks and months, XRP Healthcare is poised to share updates and progress on its journey to consolidate the fragmented healthcare sector in Uganda and beyond. This initiative underscores the organization’s dedication to raising funds independently and leveraging its consolidated structure to drive significant improvements in healthcare access, quality, and efficiency across Africa.

“We are thrilled to be streamlining and developing our local operations, now bolstered by an independent legal framework fully aligned with Uganda’s legal system,” said Chairman Whitney Lynn, who has over 45 years of experience in the M&A sector expressed his enthusiasm for the strategic direction of XRP Healthcare and the incorporation of XRP Healthcare Africa, in Uganda.

“The establishment of a cohesive and autonomous entity in Uganda marks a significant milestone in our journey. I’m incredibly excited about the opportunity to reveal our plans and the progress we anticipate in Uganda. This move not only strengthens our commitment to the region but also sets the stage for a transformative impact on healthcare delivery across Africa.”
