dApp Chain Development

DApp chain development is gradually emerging as an important part of every blockchain outfit’s repertoire. It is centered around building entire chains designed to serve the specific needs of a single decentralized apps.With the popularity of platforms like Polkadot, Cosmos and more recently Polygon Edge rising, dApp chain development seems poised to become even more important in the future.

At LimeChain, we have significant experience in working with Polkadot, Polygon Edge, and Cosmos, using their robust frameworks to build custom chains. Because of this, we’re confident in our ability to handle dApp chain development projects.

Advantages of dApp chain development

As an emerging discipline of Web3 development, dApp chain development is yet to be sufficiently explored. However, some of the advantages of this approach are clear even at this early stage. Compared to general-purpose chains like Ethereum, for example, dApp chains can be fine-tuned to the needs of their respective decentralized applications, which opens up various opportunities for optimization and performance enhancement. And, thanks to the modular design of frameworks like Polkadot’s Substrate and the Cosmos SDK, an experienced Web3 dev team can build such chains quickly and efficiently.

But what about private blockchains that can also be customized and fine-tuned thanks to frameworks like HyperLedger Fabric? Well, here dApp chains have a couple of significant advantages. Most importantly, dApp chains can use the consensus layer of a public blockchain, whereas private chains typically rely on light Proof-of-Authority consensus algorithms. In addition, private chains are, by definition, closed-off systems and, as such, are not suited to supporting consumer-grade applications.

The development process

The dApp chain development process consists of several distinct phases.

1

Initial assessment/discovery phase

Following the introductory talks with the developer, we appoint a solution architect - a senior member of our delivery team who is tasked with leading the initial assessment of the project and its needs. Based on this assessment, we recommend a course of action, as well as technologies that we find best suited for the job. The findings we gather during this stage also allow us to devise a development roadmap outlining the next steps in the dev process. They also help us to design an optimal solution architecture.

Blockchain and back-end development

Dapp chain development is a multi-faceted process that typically requires varied dev expertise. Even so, the heavy lifting is usually done during this phase. Building a chain tailored to the specific requirements of a project, even with the help of robust frameworks like Substrate, requires significant effort and know-how. As a Web3 veteran with over five years of experience, LimeChain is immensely qualified to handle even the most complex and demanding blockchain development tasks.

Dapp development

In the context of dApp chain development, building the actual dApp might seem as an auxiliary task. However, it remains extremely important, not only because the dApp is the actual product that users will interact with, but also because a smooth dApp development process makes building the best possible dApp chain that much more easier. It allows us to pinpoint the exact chain specifications that would best serve the dApp.

With over 100 highly trained professionals, LimeChain has both the development bandwidth and the expertise to support our clients during every phase of dApp development, while also helming the development of the dApp chain. You can learn more about LimeChain’s dApp development services here.

Tools development

As part of dApp chain development, we can also develop various tools for managing and supporting the product and the underlying infrastructure. These may include dashboards, wallets, governance modules and other administrative and supplementary tools. You can find a detailed overview of our tools dev process here.
