Our take
Blockchain is one of the most cutting-edge technologies currently in development, but exploration has mainly consisted of cryptocurrency uses such as Bitcoin. Pagoda delivers a platform to tap into the app development capabilities of blockchain technology, providing a one-stop-shop for Web 3.0 startups to get their products off the ground.
Blockchain tech brings huge innovations in speed, security and efficiency when developing apps, a fact which is the backbone of Pagoda's functionality. Its platform encompasses Pagoda Console, the main product enabling developers to build their apps faster, a JavaScript toolkit, and APIs. Through the console, users can access templates to launch dApps in a matter of seconds. The APIs allow the reading, indexing, and aggregation of data from the NEAR ecosystem - of which Pagoda is a part - granting app capabilities such as displaying a user’s NFTs or metadata.
Beginning its life as Near Inc, and still maintaining a close link with the NEAR foundation, Pagoda should be able to reach a wide audience within the Web 3.0 community rather easily. With the popularity of blockchain technology ever-increasing, and more and more developers dipping their toes into decentralized apps, the company should have plenty of opportunity to grow in the coming years.
