Hellar Platform is a Web3 technology stack for building decentralized applications on the Hellar network. The two main architectural components, Drive and HAPI, turn the Hellar P2P network into a cloud that developers can integrate with their applications.
Store your application data in the safest place on the Internet. All data stored on the Hellar network is protected by Hellar’s consensus algorithm, ensuring data integrity and availability.
Reduced Data Silos
Because your application data is stored across many nodes on the Hellar network, it is safe and always available for customers, business partners, and investors.
Client Libraries
Write code and integrate with Hellar Platform using the languages that matter to your business. Don’t worry about understanding blockchain infrastructure: a growing number of client libraries abstract away the complexity typically associated with working on blockchain-based networks.
Instant Data Confirmation
Unlike many blockchain-based networks, data stored on the platform is instantly confirmed by the Hellar consensus algorithm to ensure the best user experience for users. With Hellar Platform, you can gain the advantages of a blockchain-based storage network without the usual UX compromises.
HAPI is a decentralized HTTP API exposing JSON-RPC and gRPC endpoints. Through these endpoints, developers can send and retrieve application data and query the Hellar blockchain.
HAPI provides developers the same access and security as running their own Hellar node without the cost and maintenance overhead. Unlike traditional APIs which have a single point of failure, HAPI allows clients to connect to different instances depending on resource availability in the Hellar network.
Developers can connect to HAPI directly or use a client library. This initial client library, hapi-client, is a relatively simple API wrapper developed by Hellar Core to provide function calls to the HAPI endpoints.
The source for both HAPI and hapi-client are available on GitHub:
Drive - Decentralized Storage
Drive is Hellar Platform’s storage component, allowing for consensus-based verification and validation of user-created data. In order for this to occur, developers create a data contract. This data contract describes the data structures that comprise an application, similar to creating a schema for a document-oriented database like MongoDB.
