Why Open Sourcing is Vital for AERGO
AERGO’s system is made of several constituent components tasked with specific operations as they have been designed. These components are progressively released according to the project’s timeline requirements. Notably, the project’s milestone timeline is up to date with both the Alpha and Beta versions of Aergo already released. The testnets are scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2018 (Q4 2018) to help detect flaws in the system before the release of the mainnet early next year. Aergo’s components are uniquely being designed to support open sourcing it the protocol’s development. This process involves allowing developers access to the protocol’s source code that they may understand, and develop the systems used in building the protocol.
Open-sourcing Aergo Chain
Of the three elements of Aergo – Chain, Hub, and Marketplace, Aergo Chain is the first to be rolled out with Marketplace and Hub expected in Q4 2019. Aergo chain skeleton release was accompanied with a message from the management indicating the platform as open-source. This step by the management provides developers with first-hand access to the platform which they may develop to generate unique features to advance problem-solving abilities of Aergo. This move by Aergo’s developers is essential to the successful achievement of Aergo’s goal in these ways:
Growing Developers’ Community: Providing key systems of Aergo to the public allows more enthusiastic developers to join the community of developers to implement their ideas. In this way, the community grows to one large unit that provides numerous services to users through their unique innovations on the platform. By this large community, more potential end users are easily persuaded to join in the project and deploy the Aergo protocol in their blockchain systems.
Minimum flaws: With many brains comes even more ideas. A larger community of developers is more efficient in detecting problems that may otherwise arise within the protocol before serious damages are done on the platform. These developers may further suggest immediate mitigation measures to be applied to the technical problems that may arise.
More Aergo protocol-based solutions: Apart from minimizing flaws in the protocol, an open-sourced component gives developers a platform to implement their creativity by developing amazing tools that will improve solutions to problems encountered on the blockchain environment. With the wide variety of solutions, especially decentralized apps, Aergo is sure to receive a warm embrace by end users and other enthusiasts.
Aergo’s Commitment to Open-Source
In addition to these issues, by releasing open sourced platforms to the public proves Aergo management's commitment to achieving successful development of Aergo as indicated in the company’s timeline for development. Such commitment also develops the end user and developers’ community trust in the firm’s intentions. One main way Aergo has shown its commitment to developing an open sourced platform is through its use of developer-friendly scripting language similar to the Structured Query Language (SQL), the AERGOSQL. Moreover, Blocko, the back skeleton of AERGO's support, a firm that has successfully deployed over 23 commercialized blockchain systems with many real-life enterprises blockchain's experiences, surely will bring adoption of open source to be more persuasive to the industries nowadays.
In summary, Aergo’s mission to develop the protocol as open sourced is important since it allows for multiple developments to realize solutions for problems that may probably have not been realized by a smaller team of developers. Like many other open sourced projects, Aergo protocol will capture a larger share of the blockchain environment from the influence of the team of developers.
