Technology - Icetea Platform

Key Features

Painless UX

Blockchain apps are infamously known to introduce much friction to users. Icetea eliminates that.

Account Types
Distinguish between bank account and regular account, allowing apps to fine-tune the balance between security and convenience.
Access Token
Use of expirable access token with limited permission instead of private key directly, making features like 'remember me' possible.
External Payer
Allow app to pay transaction fee for its users, which enables free and freemium models, in-dapp-purchase, and credit card payment.

Offchain Services

Comes with essential services that every non-trivial app need.

DocuGuard
A scalable decentralized document storage service with built-in support for data encryption.
Decentralized Gate
Connect smart contracts with offchain world, including external data sources, payment services, storage services, trusted execution services.
Icetea ID
Passwordless decentralized identity service, enabling seamless user onboarding experience.

Built-to-Scale

Built upon the battle-tested Tendermint engine, Icetea offers powerful solutions that enable apps to scale to millions.

Powerful Consensus Engine
Use of Tendermint, the exceptional consensus engine which also powers Cosmos Network and Binance Chain.
Parallel Transaction Execution
Increase transaction processing capacity by smartly selecting transactions for executing in parallel.
Sidechain & Autonomous Area
Improve scalability by offloading workload to sidechains or Autonomous Areas - a special sidechain whose security and decentralization are taken care by the mother chain.

Superior Developer Experience

Developing on Icetea is almost as easy as regular NodeJS apps: reuse of NPM packages, advanced debugging techniques, and more.

Programming Language & Tools
Icetea Studio and other development tools let developers write smart contracts easily in JavaScript or Rust.
Reusing Existing Libraries
Reuse existing NodeJS packages, including lodash and @hapi/joi.
Enhanced Debugging
