“Bitcoin is a database for the planet”
and
“Blockchains are databases”
“Bitcoin is a database for the planet”
But…
Where’s the queries? Where’s the scale?
“Bitcoin is a database for the planet”
But…
Queries? Scale?
….
What if we had this?
What would that look like?
Could we truly get a database at planetary scale?
The first “Blue Ocean” DBs: Relational DBsBenefits: powerful structured querying
Winner: Oracle, 80s and 90s
The next “Blue Ocean” DB:Website-ready DBs
New benefits: lightweight for startupsWinner: MySQL, early 2000s
The next “Blue Ocean” DB: Distributed / NoSQL DBsNew benefits: “Big data” scale, flexible schemasWinner: MongoDB, late 2000s-now
The next blue ocean DB: blockchain databaseNew benefits: decentralized, immutable, native assets
Who: BigchainDB
BigchainDB Architecture:
Two-Layer consensus
MongoDB
BigchainDB Federation
Alice
Bob
Blockchain consensusAdd tolerance to double-spends + other byzantine faults
DB consensusFault-tolerant consensus
BigchainDB: best of traditional DBs & blockchains= a blockchain database
Immutability
Decentralized Control
Native Assets
Scalable
Queryability
Operationalized
TraditionalDist. Databases
Traditional blockchains

The Stack
Centralized (but distributed)
compute infrastructure
FILE SYSTEM
e.g. S3, HDFS
DATABASEe.g. MySQL,
MongoDB / Atlas
APPLICATION
PLATFORMe.g. Azure
PROCESSINGe.g. EC2
Partly decentralized compute

FILE SYSTEM
e.g. S3, HDFS
DATABASEe.g. MySQL, MongoDB,
BigchainDB/IPDB
Fully decentralized compute
infrastructure
E-GOLD / E-CASHBitcoin, zcash
FILE SYSTEM
e.g. S3, HDFS, IPFS
DATABASEe.g. MySQL, MongoDB/Atlas
BigchainDB/IPDB
APPLICATION
PLATFORMe.g. AWS, Azure, Monax, BlockApps
PROCESSINGe.g. EC2, Ethereum, Hyperledger, Tendermint, Lisk
No need to re-do the whole stack,Just add one more (special) database.
On Deploying
Getting Started: bigchaindb.com -> Quickstart
Use Cases
Vertical:IP – Music rights
Value proposition:A streaming service owned by all
Vertical:IP – Digital art
Value proposition:Enables creators of digital art to get compensated, via claiming attribution & licensing
ascribe
Interledger
Vertical:Identity
Value proposition:Low-friction assurance, sovereign personal data

Vertical:ID - Education Credentials
Value proposition:reduce fraudulent degrees, lower HR friction
Recruit
Vertical:Energy
Value proposition:manage $ flow in energy deregulation
Vertical:Supply Chain / Health
Value proposition:government-mandatedtransparent $ flow
“Decentralized Atlas”
Runs BigchainDB + MongoDBAnyone can write, anyone can readPermissions as assets
Sweet spots: ID, IP
IPDB(Interplanetary Database)
A few more
Financial network interoperability – Interledger / Ripple
Loyalty and Reward System – CapGemini
Financial Infrastructure – 17 POCs with one partner
Voting – SettleMint
National identity system (>10M people) - <coming soon>
Fix social media filter bubble – <coming soon>
Personal data consent – <coming soon>
<<waiting list on IPDB – 200+ of orgs>>
BigchainDB is a scalable blockchain database
For the planet, and the enterprise.
Let’s hack! Let’s ship!
