BigchainDB Server is a distributed database with blockchain characteristics: decentralization, immutability, Byzantine fault tolerance, and native asset support, built on MongoDB and Tendermint. It exposes an HTTP API for creating, querying, and transferring digital assets and tokens.
Use cases
- run a decentralized immutable database
- issue and transfer digital assets or tokens
- build a blockchain proof-of-concept with database query support
- create a digital twin or provenance record for physical assets
- deploy a private BFT network with rich transaction-level permissions
- query stored blockchain transactions with MongoDB queries
When to choose
- you need blockchain immutability and decentralization with database-like throughput and queryability
- you want fast transaction finality in a BFT federation without a native currency
- you need to issue custom multi-assets or tokens on a private or public network
When to avoid
- you need smart contracts or a native cryptocurrency for payments
- you want a general-purpose mutable database with updates and deletes
- you need a highly active ecosystem - development is in maintenance mode
