Bluzelle community Instant Notary app

A member of the Bluzelle community developers named Rekpero built an instant notary app, bringing together the amazing features of Bluzelle and IPFS. This novel application creates a “proof chain" using both Bluzelle and IPFS in affirming the authenticity of a set of data including the date and time it was notarized. It allows easy upload of photos and documents, storing the files on IPFS in a decentralized manner. The encrypted hash of the file content and your location is stamped and stored on Bluzelle database. After a file has been successfully uploaded to the app, it’s content and notarized information becomes unalterable.

Introducing the Bluzelle Oracles

The idea of how an oracle can benefit from using the Bluzelle DB has been conceived since the year began. Since Blockchain Oracles are either fast and not secure or slow and secure. And DeFi applications are responsible for giving information that triggers financial decisions, therefore the authenticity of these information cannot be overemphasized. The combination of Oracles with Bluzelle DB will enhance speed and security for DeFi applications- This gave rise to the Bluzelle Oracles. The Bluzelle Oracles is an extension of the Bluzelle DB which provides high demand price feed for decentralized applications. By providing fast pricing intervals, High-quality price data and advanced security triggers, The Bluzelle Oracles has proven to be a superior oracle service and has added more value to the network. Aside the fact that it provides storage, it also makes validators instant price Oracles.
