Coin Sciences Ltd, a UK-based blockchain technology company, today announced the production-ready release of MultiChain 1.0, following two and a half years of intensive feedback-driven development.

Since its first alpha release in June 2015, MultiChain has received over 60,000 downloads, more than half of which were during 2017. In March 2017, the first beta release of MultiChain 1.0 for Linux and Windows was announced. During the four-month beta period, MultiChain was optimized to support over 1,000 transactions per second on a mid-range server.

“We’re delighted to have reached this milestone,” said Dr Gideon Greenspan, CEO and Founder of Coin Sciences Ltd. “Developing the first production release of MultiChain has been an immense challenge, and we’ve learned a great deal about our users and their requirements along the way. Work has already begun on MultiChain 2.0, which will be the first version of MultiChain to come in two editions – Community (open source) and Enterprise (commercial). We look forward to continued growth in usage of the product and cooperating with all our partners to help them leverage it for their needs.”

In addition, Coin Sciences announced the addition of fourteen new members of the MultiChain Partner Program, bringing the total number to 43. The new members of the MultiChain Partner Program include two multinational consulting companies: Cognizant and Indra Sistemas. Twelve more SMBs have also joined: Aicumen, Bambusoft, Chainfrog, CrimsonLogic, Encrypgen, Hypatia Technologies, Maroon Studios, Medici Ventures, Project Radium, SolarLab, The Apollo Group, and Tilkal.

According to the official release, members of the program enjoy a close working relationship with the MultiChain engineering team, can use MultiChain branding in their marketing materials, and are promoted on the MultiChain website, which now receives 35,000 visitors monthly. The MultiChain Partner Program has now been split into two tracks

• Platform Partners who develop applications for third parties on the MultiChain platform
• Product Partners who are using MultiChain in their own proprietary solutions.

“We used MultiChain to build a platform for transferring digital assets between different organizations (from commerce to public administration) in a permissioned network where all the participants collaborate,” said Víctor Sánchez Hórreo, Manager of Blockchain and Digital Transformation at Minsait (Indra Sistemas). “The assets act as a key tool to enable social and economic projects, and the features of MultiChain regarding permission management, quick deployment and asset creation fit very well with our needs.”
