What is Blockchain application development?
In the last few decades, people have started to understand the value of data. In fact, data is crucial and important to most businesses. That is the reason why people invented Blockchain Technology.
At first, you should know that Blockchain is basically a new method to store data. It means Blockchain is designed to maintain the integrity, and transparency of data. Additionally, since 2013, people have officially applied Smart Contract to Blockchain that established a foundation for developers to build apps.

The nature of Smart Contract is self-executing. It means when a certain condition is reached, the system will provide a result that programmed in the Smart Contract. This enables developers to build financial apps, or games, or similar types of apps that facilitate Blockchain Technology.
Fundamentally, the process of creating Blockchain application is similar to the process of creating normal applications. However, during the process, developers have to create and implement one, or multiple Smart Contracts. The app will operate on those Smart Contracts, as it is a inseparable part.
Creating Blockchain Application will have some advantages:
- Blockchain will store most data (text, images, etc.) forever in an order of time;
- It is self-executing, so we can reduce human errors;
- Everything is transparent, we can track anything with a Block Explorer;
- Blockchain Application will protect users from leaking personal info, as it encrypts everything. All you can find on a Block Explorer is addresses, and activities with no specific identities.
Pantograph Application
Pantograph is a Blockchain Application that built on TomoChain. It is where users can send Blockchain assets while chatting with others. Communities can build announcement channels, chat rooms, or even send gifts to encourage followers with the lowest cost and no transaction fees. Pantograph even turns your Instagram Images to Blockchain Assets and monetizes them through auctions.
