Introducing decentralized APIs (dAPIs)

APIs drive the new digital business and are the key ingredient of digital solutions and centerpiece of API Economy. Until now, APIs have been centralized. Kumuluz dAPI platform introduces fully decentralized APIs utilizing blockchain technology. dAPIs make decentralized applications (dApps) truly decentralized.

Centralized application architecture

Use pre-built dAPIs from marketplace to compose your application faster

without Kumuluz

For a typical digital application you'll need 1 million lines of code and at least 6 months.

with Kumuluz

You'll need 20 dAPIs, 10 000 lines of code and only 6 weeks for the same application.

True decentralization

Make your blockchain applications (dApps) truly decentralized by decentralizing APIs and the business logic. Adopt the dAPIs with microservice or serverless architecture for your services.

Improved productivity

Develop applications by composing dAPIs instead of writing code from scratch. Shorten time-to-market by an order of magnitude by using pre-built dAPIs.

Improved flexibility

Write your code once and deploy it to any decentralized or centralized cloud. Use any blockchain and smart contract technology you need. Remove technology-related risks.

24/7 Always on

Decentralized APIs assure that your applications have no single point of failure. This improves fault tolerance, resilience, trust and allows for self-healing. Your digital solutions will never fail again.

What is Kumuluz

Next generation decentralized API and microservice digital platform

Kumuluz dAPI platform introduces a few core technology innovations that enable developers to build truly decentralized blockchain applications and digital products in the fastest way possible without any compromises in scalability, performance, security, resilience and decentralization.

Kumuluz is bringing together the greatest tech minds, decentralized APIs on blockchain, the microservice and serverless architectures and the best development practices to create a next-generation digital software platform that will revolutionize the way applications are build. It will enable developing personalized applications with the speed of a software factory in a decentralized, community-driven way.

dAPI technology

dAPIs are the next generation fully decentralized APIs, designed for decentralized execution in a similar way as the Blockchain distributed ledger is used for decentralized storage. dAPIs can be implemented as decentralized microservices or serverless. They are permissioned or permissionless, operation or event driven, support a variety of protocols, such as REST, gRPC, GraphQL, event streaming, etc., improved resilience, fault-tolerance, scalability and security.

More information

Pre-built dAPIs

Kumuluz will provide a rich library of pre-built dAPIs with common functionalities that almost every application requires, such as Payment, Customer Management, KYC/AML, Shopping Cart, Order Management, Invoicing, Billing, Subscription Management, integration with Crypto-exchanges, Crypto token management, etc. Use Kumuluz dAPI digital platform as an easy way to compose dAPIs into working applications with no or minimal coding.

More information

Marketplace

Marketplace is the app store for pre-built dAPIs. You can search the marketplace to find, select and use dAPIs that your application requires. You can also customize existing dAPIs to adapt them to your requirements. In the marketplace you will find some dAPIs which are free to use and some, which require payment.

More information

Community

A community of developers will contribute dAPIs to the marketplace. Do you require functionalities not found in marketplace? Engage the community and ask them to develop specific dAPIs. Miners will test, verify and validate dAPIs to guarantee bug and error-free operation and 24/7 availability of dAPIs.

More information

Smart contracts for dAPIs

dAPIs provide an innovative, smart-contract based licensing and IP management model, which allows dAPI publishers to specify pricing models that are fulfilled automatically each time somebody uses a dAPI.

Our story

Kumuluz is not just an idea

We have been working on (centralized) APIs and microservices since 2013. The microservice framework KumuluzEE has been the front-runner in terms of agility, start-up speed and memory consumption and offers together with API management unique features for managing containerized APIs and microservices. It has been released to open source and used in several companies all over the world for running their production systems.

We have received several international awards. Our team members are well known experts, who have published several books, articles, conference papers and blogs. Read more about our beginnings and our story in the timeline.

KUMULUZ ARCHITECTURE

For a detailed look at the Kumuluz dAPI platform architecture click the specific sections for a more detailed explanation.

Technical advantages

Security

Advanced decentralized security and authentication mechanisms for permissioned and permissionless dAPIs, based on the trust protocol.

Deploy to any cloud

Develop applications that can be deployed to any decentralized or centralized cloud without any changes to the code.

Blockchain abstraction

Access the Blockchain distributed ledger and smart-contract platform through an abstraction layer and make your applications independent of the specific underlying Blockchain platform.

Scalability

Advanced scalability and elasticity on a microservice level using the latest cloud-native concepts. Make sure your applications never run out of resources, even if your user base starts growing exponentially.

Fault tolerance

Built-in fault tolerance mechanisms such as circuit breakers, fallbacks, bulkheads, etc. assure that your applications will self-heal and never fail again.

Seamless integration

Kumuluz integration adapters handle the complexity related to integration of your applications with external applications and systems.

“Digital platforms are rapidly moving up the hype cycle, illustrating the new IT realities that are possible by providing the underlining platforms that will fuel the future. Technologies such as Blockchain are poised to create the most transformative and dramatic impacts in the next five to 10 years.”

Our vision

Decentralization for a better world

In a world controlled by multinational corporations, blockchain is a bright spot, the enabler for the transformation towards decentralized, peer-to-peer, middleman-free economy and society. Thousands of ICO startups, developers, companies and enthusiast are developing disruptive, decentralized digital solutions, disruptive business models and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) with a common goal – to return the economy and society back to the people, to decentralize the world and make it a better place – for us and for our children.

We at Kumuluz are strong believers and supporters of decentralization. Our vision is to accelerate the decentralization and help ICOs, organizations and developers to create their decentralized application and digital solutions faster and with less effort. We provide the most sophisticated digital platform for blockchain applications.

Imagine a world where decentralized applications are not developed by writing code from scratch. Instead, they can be composed out of pre-built dAPIs. Now imagine a world, where you can shorten the development cycle by an order of magnitude, considerably reduce the time-to-market and still deliver state-of-the-art, secure, scalable, fault tolerant and reliable solutions that are flexible to adapt and modify.

We at Kumuluz make this world a reality with the help of the Kumuluz digital platform and decentralized APIs. Join us, become a part of our community and help us make the world decentralized even sooner.
