Mobile wallet provider BRD is making something of a pivot, launching a suite of tools aimed at allowing blockchain developers to more easily build apps for enterprises.
Called Blockset, the new offering - announced Friday - is described as a blockchain data integration platform with a suite of tools that allow coders to create "Enterprise-grade" blockchain applications.
These bring the ability to automatically pull in on-chain data via an API and, BRD says, conduct transactions in "Near real-time" on multiple blockchains.
Nodes can be hosted "Out of the box," BRD says.
The suite has been under evaluation in private pre-release by a number of firms including Ripple, SBI Holdings and KPMG, according to the announcement, with BRD aiming to soon bring in partners to help grow adoption.
All in all, the firm says the benefits of its new product include cutting hosting and developments costs, reducing build time and potentially the promise of new enterprise use cases for blockchain.
Around 90 percent of major banks are now exploring blockchain and cryptocurrency, said Adam Traidman, BRD's CEO and co-founder.
In October, BRD received a $750,000 investment from Ripple's Xpring alongside a new partnership that was said to target the creation of "The internet of value." As part of arrangement, BRD was to integrate XRP and start building on Xpring's developer platform.
