Testing Private Ledger Fabrics for Internal ICURY Transaction Support

We’re in preparation of the next step in the ICURY project, in which we want to support internal ICURY transactions off the Ethereum ledger. The main reasons are that the transaction costs of Ethereum are far too high, the transaction speed is too low, and data on Ethereum’s ledger is public, which limits the use case because of privacy concerns.

We do a quick comparison of a few Private DLT/Secure database technologies that we might include as part of our future ICURY transaction architecture. Deliberately, we also compared a situation with a classic private database setup (DBMS), as in corporate environments a blockchain framework might not necessarily be the most effective setup.

The overview is work in progress, as during further tech trials more information about the stability and actual costs will become evident.

Overview of Private Ledger alternatives. A trial starts to verify things.

Critical for the private ICURY ledger is that internal transaction can be processed at zero transaction costs, and that high transaction processing speeds can be realized.

We starred* the features that are most critical in our evaluation.

Possible outcomes:

1. Choice for a blockchain-based or traditional ledger application for internal off-chain and private transactions. External transactions can still be posted on the external, public blockchain.
2. EOS could replace ERC-20 (Ethereum) as public blockchain for external on-blockchain transactions.
