Jelurida's Ardor offers Java with Ignis lightweight contracts -

Jelurida, a Swiss blockchain company, is now offering the possibility for external enterprise systems to integrate with blockchain using a streamlined smart contract life cycle management framework. This includes Ignis Lightweight Contracts working on the Ardor platform coded in Java. For those for whom a public blockchain is not an option, Jelurida: Ardor is an evolution of the Nxt software.

Ignis lightweight contracts process input data from a trigger transaction. This also makes it easier to develop oracles which interface between external data sources and the Ardor blockchain – because Ignis lightweight contracts automate specific processes without storing state information (for example, token balances) internally. Lightweight contract templates and decentralized applications (dApps) have the potential to be sold or distributed open source through the existing Ignis marketplace.

The Jelurida intention is that this combination provides confidence for financial and data security when using the Ardor platform’s public distributed ledger. Jelurida has further expanded the Ardor platform’s functionality by activating ‘Asset Properties’ and the ‘Max Property Group’ (MPG) child chain. The Max Property Group (MPG) child chain represents the Ardor platform’s most distinct real world use case since the launch of Ardorgate’s AEUR euro-pegged token.
