All projects & tools in Cosmos Ecosystem now inter-compatible

A recently-released tool from MESG effectively makes all projects built on the Cosmos network of blockchains easily compatible with each other.

How does it work?

Events and tasks on any Cosmos/Tendermint blockchain can be leveraged as triggers within applications, to trigger tasks on other apps, or even external blockchains. This is done through discrete services, which tasks and events are directed by processes.

This way, components are not interdependent on one another, making building, updates and scaling really lightweight & simple.

Quality dev sandbox

MESG is really a development sandbox for not only the Cosmos Ecosystem, but for any developers who want to launch and scale high-end apps really quickly and cheaply.

Check out the video from the MESG Foundation which describes the new Cosmos Ecosystem inter-compatibility.

Easily scale applications without giving up control & ownership

Scaling really sucks

Scaling applications can be hassle & cost to those building applications and starting businesses.

There's always the option to invest in your own servers, or purchase usage of remote servers like Digital Ocean, but these usually require significant costs just to get started. Plus, how do you even know if a new project will take off and find a user base to justify the costs?

Avoiding these upfront costs so that entrepreneur-developers can build more projects, quicker and easier is the reason products like Firebase exist. And they do solve this problem, but unfortunately that comes at the cost of revoking certain elements of control and ownership over your applications.

Some would say that centralized products like Firebase are required to solve the scalability issue, but I beg to differ.

Decentralization to the rescue?

Enter modular development frameworks that are able to be decentralized using blockchain tech. Frameworks like this, such as the MESG Framework, keep the ownership of applications and components in the developers' hands (secured via blockchain), while only paying per application execution.

With this particular framework, you can run application locally, in your own distributed network, or on a public distributed network where you can outsource processing at a per-execution rate. It's all in your hands.

So, not only can you save by only paying for what you use, but also you can also make money by sharing customizable components like services and processes. And a blockchain ensuring payments go directly to the creator.

There are new players in town, utilizing many different technologies to bring a better development and business building experience. And I'm all on board for that.

You can play around with the open-source MESG Framework right here.

Hey everyone!

There are only a couple weeks left in the MESG Ecosystem Hackathon on Devpost. Running through April 26th 2020.

It's a virtual hackathon that's pretty wide open! Build tools, services and/or processes associated with the open-source MESG Framework, where you can quickly and cheaply build applications based on a marketplace of customizable components.

The MESG Framework helps you start quickly and securely. Focus on making your business applications great and forget about repetitive component configuration and management.

This hackathon is open to developers of all levels. Join us! We're excited to see what you build.

Open source framework for building cutting-edge applications quickly

Hey everyone!

I hope you're staying well out there.

With all this extra time on our hands, seems to be a great time to build new projects. So, if you're looking to bring ideas to life quickly, and cost-effectively, give the MESG Framework a look.

It's an open source framework for for building applications. The goal is to let you focus on your app’s business logic and forget about component integration and infrastructure management.

It's also backed by a blockchain, so the apps you build super-secure, feature-rich applications from beginning to end with just a few lines of code.

Any apps you build are owned by you, and you can receive royalties when others use your components. Plus you can keep your app on the MESG network, or choose to run it on your own local machine or network.

Also, it's quite easy to learn, so in just a few minutes you can reuse and recycle components and put together applications using impressive tech.
