Introducing ContainerChains: A Developer-Friendly Solution for Appchain Deployment
Moondance Labs, the company behind the Tanssi appchain infrastructure protocol, has unveiled ContainerChains, a new and efficient way to deploy application-specific blockchains. Appchains are popular for their dedicated blockspace, customizability, and adherence to blockchain principles. However, their complex deployment often leads to higher costs and delays.
To address these challenges, Tanssi’s ContainerChains offer developers a more flexible solution. By connecting an appchain to the Tanssi network, it can be transformed into a ContainerChain, simplifying the deployment process from months to under an hour. This allows developers to enjoy the benefits of appchains while also benefiting from easy smart contract deployment.
“Tanssi is the only protocol that allows developers to deploy a secure and decentralized appchain in just hours. With the launch of ContainerChains, we aim to fill this gap without sacrificing decentralization, security, or native composability,” said Francisco Agosti, CEO of Moondance Labs and Co-founder of Tanssi.
Advancing Appchain Capabilities with ContainerChains
Tanssi ContainerChains are built on the Substrate framework, known for its modular architecture that promotes advanced customization. To make it easier for developers to get started with Substrate and Polkadot ecosystems, pre-built templates with essential components are available. EVM-compatible templates are also offered for developers familiar with the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
When an appchain becomes a ContainerChain connected to Tanssi, it gains access to various resources including collation-as-a-service, data-retrieval-as-a-service, key integrations with wallets and explorers, XCM integrations for cross-chain communications, and chain-management tooling. Additionally, Tanssi leverages Polkadot’s Relay Chain for shared security and interoperability.
Accessing ContainerChains through the Dancebox TestNet
Tanssi’s first public TestNet, Dancebox, is open for developers to explore and adopt ContainerChains. Over 40 projects have already joined the Tanssi ecosystem, including RMRK, LeverFi, and Galaxia Studios. The community can expect enhanced cross-chain integration, user-friendly tools, and expanded features as Tanssi continues to grow.
In May, Moondance Labs secured a $3M seed round led by Arrington Capital and supported by notable VCs such as Fenbushi and Borderless Capital.
