AERGOSQL: The New Smart Contract Language

With new blockchain technology; come new tools and features that accompany the technology. These unique features provide the edge for the technologies over the existing blockchain projects. For instance, a recently developed tool may be fused with features to improve security and scalability that may provide significant solutions to the blockchain technology. While most institutions embrace the technology, its various backlashes limit its application by enterprises. One major challenge that has come up from the technology’s various innovations’ expansion is the limited number of developers of the respective innovations. This is not the case for the new kid in the bloc – AERGO. AERGO, a recently launched blockchain technology tool provides a simpler to use machine language for many developers, the AERGOSQL.

Components of AERGOSQL
AERGO’s platform for smart contract runs the AERGOSQL engine, which comprises of a Structured Query Language (SQL) interface that supports relational data models. The SQL platform for smart contract provides familiar tools for several developers who are familiar with the SQL language. AERGOSQL’s support for the business logic definition and the database management models are the salient features for the tool that provide unique security and usability features for users.

AERGOSQL is a component of three functionalities comprising of the frontend, backend and the optimizer which provide easier ways for developers to interact with the blockchain innovation. The ease of usability for developers further improves its development since developers find new ways to enhance tools in the platform for more efficient functionality. The components of the SQL platform seek to improve both horizontal and vertical scalability which improve the technology’s support for increasing demand. Improving user-friendliness of AERGOSQL assists to advance not only AERGO’s development but also the general improvement of the blockchain technology as scalability has been a major problem facing the technology. Moreover, the AERGOSQL advances the security of the platform from its features thus advancing trust to users of the technology.

AERGOSQL Functionalities
The frontend functionality provides users with the interface to interact with the AERGO tools and access the diverse functions available in the platform. The frontend resolves the PL/SQL to an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) script equivalent.
The frontend’s resolving functionality translates the backend programming into an easily comprehended language by the user.

The backend forms the basis for AERGO’s platform, allowing developers to create new features, update existing features or decommission outdated features for the best user functionality. The backend seeks to synchronize with different consensus algorithms from various ledgers by employing the point-in-block mechanism for rollback and recovery.

The optimizer improves the systems’ functionality by allocating the right nodes of execution in the intermediate representation (IR) from the AST produced by the frontend. The improved functionality advances operations on AERGO’s platform.

Summary
In summary, AERGO’s smart contract platform provides new advanced ways for the blockchain technology operations which are user-friendly, and developer-friendly. This friendliness creates an expansion opportunity as more people simply interact with the new blockchain platform. AERGOSQL platform will prove a vital tool for AERGO’s development as its features further assist mitigate problems the blockchain technology faces including scalability, security, and user-friendliness. Developing smart contracts is surely going to be more efficient with faster transactional speeds and secure systems.
