The Emer Group has announced the launch of its own blockchain development platform. Emer, a leading digital currency and blockchain platform, is going to launch its own fully fledged development platform: Blockchain Engine.

The platform has been designed specifically for developers to create applications and services on the Emer blockchain. It aims to make it easy for entities to enter the blockchain and distributed ledger technology space.

"Blockchain Engine is a development driven platform allowing anyone to become part of the most functional blockchain available today for business and personal use. The blockchain community now has an easy to use environment to create innovative applications and services on the Emercoin blockchain," Jason Cassidy, Chief Communications Officer stated.

Initially, the main focus of the platform will be on areas of development involving digital rights, internet security, distributed advertising, censorship resistant DNS, proof of ownership, and Internet Of Things.

"Emer wants to make the process of creating innovative applications and services as streamlined and easy as possible. To do this we have brought together a unique offering to the industry that truly allows for full community engagement”, Cassidy added.

Emer Blockchain Engine offers a number of benefits such as ready-made solutions that are proven in the field and in use today; support from one of the top teams for blockchain innovation in the world; quick execution given the relatively small and optimized nature of the Emer blockchain; applications that can be created due to the low node requirements; limitless application development potential (gaming, social media, analytics, abstract and predictive markets, finance, etc); and quick on-boarding for developers with backgrounds in Javascript and other languages due to the simplicity of the Blockchain Engine platform.

“On April 25th, 2016 the long awaited developer ecosystem will be released to the public, allowing for all businesses and developers to join the exciting world of Blockchain”, the Emer Group said in a blog post.

Last month, the team announced that it has begun the process of launching its blockchain R&D lab that will aim to facilitate the further development and monetization of Emercoin’s existing blockchain services along with the creation of new synergizing technologies.
