Hi everyone, Today I'm very excited to tell you guys about an upcoming blockchain project that is promising to deliver a very high throughput (10 Million TPS) enterprise grade decentralised cloud computing services.
Traditionally, when you think about cloud computing, Microsoft Azure & Amazon Web Services come straight to our minds as they are providing enterprise grade cloud computing services to many organisations & companies all across the globe. They are centralised & have centralised nodes spread across different regions. This means, that they are controlled by centralised authority, have a centralised location (regions i.e. UK, ASIA, US etc) and are vulnerable to security threats, disasters. This solution is also a high cost solution.
So whats next for cloud computing ? now, with Sparkster we have found a vision that will provide the same enterprise grade cloud computing services but will be decentralised and will have so many small cells and nodes which are basically mobile devices. In this way Sparkster will be providing security, privacy, scalability & high throughput for applications built on top of its decentralised blockchain. This is the future ! This was in the layman terms now, let us look at the technical aspect of Sparkster.
SPARKSTER VISION
The two basic visions of Sparkster are mentioned below:
Sparksterplatform will enable decentralized software applications (DAPPS) that could be built by anyone in plain english, without knowledge of programming or blockchain architecture.
The smart software that will be built on Sparkster will be able to run at 10 Million TPS. Sparkster decentralized cloud is aiming nothing less. This is to support enterprise grade dapps to run on their platform smoothly.
SPARKSTER PLATFORM
It will have drag & drop interfaces.
Software behaviour will be written on plain English thus anyone who is not a programmer can also participate and write his applications on the blockchain.
These application will be easily integrated with other software API's & websites through this platform. Users can increase the experience by integrating different API's together & thus calling multiple functionalities.
SPARKSTER BLOCKCHAIN TECHNICAL DETAILS
Below are some technical specs & details of Sparkster blockchain :
STRUCTURE : Sparkster blockchain will consist of multiple small cells & each small cell will act like a separate blockchain.
VERIFICATION : In order to verify TXN each cell will have a group of cells dedicated to make a small block. The TXN that will take place in that block will be verified by consensus within the block. This will greatly reduce the overhead of TX hash as it is verified within a small block thus using less hash power & will be finished within few seconds.
INCENTIVES : These blocks will be incentivised so that they work in a fair & secure manner. TXN's will not get stuck & hacked.
CONSENSUS : Sparkster have used the stellar consensus protocol (SCP) & the consensus algo is know as Federated Byzantine Agreement System (FBAS). This algo is known to get consensus within small slices of network known as quorum slice & thus managing 1000 plus TPS easily per slice within few seconds (2-3) of latency.
PRIVACY : To provide privacy, Sparkster uses Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and encrypts all data persisted on the sparkster secentralized cloud.
SECURITY : Sparkster promises to provide security to the clients by taking certain steps such as comparing the public key signed to use the app with Sparkster development private key, so if the comparison fails that means the app is broken or hacked, enabling digital signatures & checksums to ensure all files , folders & are safe, enabling input validations to limit injections attacks, using 3rd party apps to detect malicious activity within the payload running inside the memory, ensuring there is no cache memory and all data is executed within the memory, & ensuring communication within the devices are protected with SSL/TLS to name a few.
INTEROPERABILITY : Sparkster has the native integration with Ethereum & IOTA. It can generate & interact smart contracts in plain english with ethereum. More ever, it can interact with the IOTA network through IOTA Smart Transactions facilitated by IOTA Flash Channels. In future they will be doing integration with NEO, Cardano etc.
TESTNET RESULTS
An impressive testnet result of 52K plus TPS was done with only 50 cells.

MY OVERALL RATING
I find Sparkster a very innovative project with big ambitions. They have a all-star team. Testnet demo is also very exciting to see these high throughput results. I will give it my overall rating of 9/10 & 4.5 stars out of 5.
There public sale will start after 17th June 2018. So interested people please go and join the whitelist to be able to participate in the project.
