Bluzelle is a scalable, decentralized database service platform based on user needs, targeting medium and small software developers as its primary audience. It aims to provide them with cost-effective, fast-to-deploy, and high-performance enterprise-level database management services. Bluzelle incentivizes users to share their resources to build a decentralized digital economy database network. The BLZ token (Bluzelle Token) supports transactions outside the Bluzelle Network system and can be purchased using Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies.

1. Project Overview

Bluzelle stores data in a unique, distributed, and intelligent manner, dynamically adjusting the number and location of nodes for data sharding. This provides enterprise-level scalability, allowing developers to use Bluzelle’s decentralized database just as they would a traditional cloud database product.

Project Features

Performance:
Bluzelle’s unique and proprietary clustering technology is designed to achieve optimal system performance. By retrieving data from the nearest node in a leaf cluster, latency is reduced, and by parallelly fetching data from the fastest nodes within the leaf cluster, speed is significantly increased. This is akin to torrents and seeds. Since data requests and shard retrieval processes from all clusters are parallel, performance metrics meet the required standards.

Reliability:
Using the concept of fog algorithms or leaf clusters, Bluzelle follows a model where each unit of data is 100% replicated across leaf clusters within a cluster. As such, despite being contained within a single cluster, the widespread geographical distribution of nodes ensures resilience against localized disruptions caused by natural or human-related events.

Scalability:
Bluzelle databases are horizontally and vertically scalable. Bluzelle manages various strategies and considerations for scaling use cases. Horizontal scalability is a cornerstone of Bluzelles architecture, with each cluster serving as another "unit" of horizontal scaling at the cluster level. Within each leaf cluster, each node acts as another agent for horizontal scaling at the leaf cluster level.

Use Cases

Market Forecasting
Decentralized market forecasting applications on Ethereum require managing and storing vast amounts of data, including questions posed, possible outcomes, predictions made, and actual event information. A decentralized database can grow and scale according to product demand. Fast and reliable access to data is crucial for successful prediction markets and attracting new customers and participation. Historical data stored on Bluzelle adds a new dimension to predictions – using past events to make better forecasts reduces human guesswork.

Currency Exchange Protocols
A key component of currency exchange protocols is the presence of relayers that connect makers and takers through off-chain order books. Relayers must efficiently and reliably supply basic orders. One pain point is that relayers are responsible for storing these orders in their own way. Using a decentralized database like Bluzelle allows token exchange protocols to provide relayers with a standardized, consistent, and ubiquitous database. Since the network is still supported by relayers, this reduction in friction maximizes service levels and quality.

Data Stream Networks
Data stream networks match data point consumers with data point producers. For example, cars use real-time data from data stream networks. While moving, cars collect real-time data and pay for both the data they “sell” to the network and the data they “buy” from it. Data points need to be readable and writable with high performance, availability, scalability, and reliability. Bluzelle is an ideal choice for providing the necessary infrastructure and can be used by data stream networks to store their data to meet these requirements.

Technical Overview

Developer Marketplace
Bluzelle aims to partner with leading software development ecosystems to establish revenue-sharing channel partnerships. Notable examples include Heroku, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Redhat OpenShift, Google App Engine, and Microsoft Azure. Through these integrations, developers can easily use Bluzelle’s decentralized database just as effortlessly as they would traditional cloud database products – with clicks and taps.

Development Environments
Development environments such as Android Studio, Apple XCode, Microsoft Xamarin and Visual Studio, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Unity3D, PhoneGap, and Ionic are targeted for plugins and integrations. This enables desktop and mobile application developers to seamlessly integrate Bluzelle’s database into their games or enterprise applications.

Blockchain
Blockchain plays a significant role in the Bluzelle ecosystem. We plan to deploy smart contracts directly onto Ethereum rather than other open blockchain protocols (such as Hyperledger), enabling decentralized applications’ smart contracts to utilize Bluzelle for storage needs.

Operating Systems and Browser Tools
Operating systems and browser tools enhance developers ability to access data, whether from GUI applications running on desktops or browser extensions, allowing them to quickly store and retrieve table data.

2. Commentary

Bluzelle is a decentralized database storage and management protocol designed for decentralized applications, allowing individuals to share their computer storage space to earn tokens. At the same time, dApp developers pay tokens to store their data, utilizing storage space as efficiently as possible, freeing them from concerns about data storage. The network employs unique and proprietary clustering technology, collectively storing and managing data. By retrieving data from the nearest node in a leaf cluster, latency is reduced, and by parallelly fetching data from the fastest nodes within the leaf cluster, speed is significantly increased.

Bluzelle follows the model of the cluster algorithm, where each unit of data is 100% replicated across leaf clusters within a cluster. As a result, even though the data is only within a cluster, the widespread geographical distribution of nodes ensures resilience against disruptions caused by individual events, making it highly reliable. Additionally, Bluzelle databases are horizontally and vertically scalable, with each cluster serving as another "unit" of horizontal scaling at the cluster level. In each leaf cluster, each node becomes another agent for horizontal scaling at the leaf cluster level. Bluzelle belongs to the most fundamental layer of blockchain infrastructure, serving as an upgrade and alternative to traditional data centers.
