Products

  • Forge sunset

    An SDK and toolchain for building chain applications without assembling the node, the data layer and the client separately. ArcBlock Chain is what that became.

Terms

  • Dapp

    An application whose important state does not sit only in one operator's database. What counts as decentralized varies a lot between projects, so the useful question is which part is checkable by someone outside.
