Unification \u2013 A Vehicle for United Network Distribution (UND)A hybrid public\/private blockchain ecosystem built for enterprises<\/p>\n

To give context of the problem being solved, one should understand that Unification began as a\u201c2nd layer\u201d protocol \u2013 Drawing from the core teams collective experience in enterprise consulting and software development \u2013 UND was originally designed to be solely a \u201cdata liquidity\u201d protocol which would allow enterprises to standardize\/tokenize their data and place it in a liquid format to be bought\/sold\/transferred over a blockchain. What we were building was not \u201csexy,\u201d rather it was fulfilling a very lucrative, yet possibly boring need for enterprises and the future of data.<\/p>\n

As the team spent better part of a year developing the codebase and engaging in early enterprise outreach \u2013 over the course of hundreds of conversations and then subsequent verification of realities, it became quite apparent that it was not possible to create a functional \u201c2nd layer\u201d when in practical reality there was no \u201c1st layer\u201d that worked in any way that would be functional for any sort of serious enterprise trying to do \u201cwork\u201d.<\/p>\n

By \u201cwork\u201d we mean the daily mundane \u2013 sometimes automated execution of smart contracts that happen in the thousands\/tens of thousands\/millions and are not directly related to any sort of immediate monetary gain\/loss of money\/tokens. Early concept chains such as ETH and EOS gained prominence in 2017-18 and laid out a vision of how things \u201cshould be\u201d \u2013 but limitations were quickly exposed when it became apparent that current technological constraints would not allow \u201call the smart contracts in the world\u201d to validated by any single blockchain.<\/p>\n

Even with the best of intentions, when placed in a \u201cn+1\u201d scaling situation any \u201cclosed\u201d system quickly achieved critical mass and all of the \u201cwork\u201d transactions got pushed to the back while\u201chigh value\u201d transactions such as coin-speculation, (erc-20) gambling, (EOS) and pseudo-gambling (crypto-kiddies etcetera) would by nature clog the network.<\/p>\n

The other side of the solution that has been approaching from the corporate side has been the deployment of fully private \u201cconsortium\u201d blockchains as proposed by offerings such as Cordaand Hyperledger. Being built on the \u201clinux\/redhat\u201d model \u2013 the idea was to create open sourcesoftware that \u201cdoes useful things\u201d and then bill for consulting to implement and maintain. This would effectively and instantly solve the \u201cscalability\u201d issue as the required amount of validators is (n) \u2013 ie. .whatever the deployer determines and only transactions allowed by the validators will be allowed on the network.<\/p>\n

Meaning that these fully \u201cprivate\u201d implementations are useful in theory \u2013 but depending on usecase can sometimes be regulated to nothing more than a glorified database so that someone can say \u201cwe are on the blockchain\u201d.<\/p>\n
