Kenshi Launches its Deep Index & Oracle Network on Aurora

What is Kenshi?

Kenshi is a full-stack application development platform targeting blockchains. Kenshi enables fast product development and reduces time to market. Whether developers want to index and query blockchain data or deliver data to the blockchain, Kenshi has them covered by enabling two-way communication.

Kenshi’s vision is to lift the limitations faced by developers each day and allow them to build more innovative blockchain applications with real-world use cases. Whether they are making complex applications or smart contracts interacting with machines and IoT devices outside the blockchain, they provide the necessary help you bring their ideas to light.

The Kenshi Deep Index

The Kenshi Deep Index service allows indexing and querying blockchain data using GraphQL or MQL. The Kenshi Deep Index data cluster geographically distributes your data to guarantee high availability and fast region-independent access times.

Kenshi also provides R-API (webhooks) and the Kenshi IoT platform as a part of the Kenshi Deep Index service. Kenshi R-API is a push notification service for the blockchain that delivers events directly to your application endpoint, so you don’t have to keep querying for them.

Kenshi IoT SDKs allow using the Kenshi Deep Index services on embedded devices. Builders can use the Kenshi IoT service to develop smart city projects, smart devices, or any other embedded electronics project requiring real-time blockchain data access.

Some of the use cases of the Kenshi Deep Index service are:

Query events efficiently without iterating over each block on the blockchain
Keep track of moved assets or other trackable quantities
Notify users of received tokens and NFTs or when a specific event happens
Connect events to automation tools such as IFTTT, Zapier, Make.com, and others
Create serverless data flows and redirect blockchain events to AWS Lambda, Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, and others
Receive data from the blockchain on IoT devices such as ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and others

The Kenshi Oracle Network

The Kenshi Oracle Network allows the development, deployment, and operation of custom oracles on various blockchains. With the Kenshi Oracle Network, developers can use the technology of their choice to create custom oracles, allowing them to focus on their business use case instead of solving common oracle development problems.

The Kenshi Oracle Network takes care of event sourcing, task queues, security, caching, scaling, nonce management, error management, data delivery, and retries so builders can spend more time on their business logic. Kenshi Oracle Network Blueprints allow developers to bootstrap a custom oracle or deploy a dedicated version of an existing one.

Kenshi provides Blueprints for a price feed oracle, a proof of balance oracle, a weather station oracle, and a VRF oracle. Kenshi also provides a simple oracle Blueprint as a starting point for developing more extensive, complex oracles.

Some of the use cases of the Kenshi Oracle Network are:

Keep track of the ownership of blockchain assets across L1 and L2 chains
Track business data such as received payments, commodities, shipments, and others
Connect your smart contract to real-world data like weather, sports, and others
Get randomness for blockchain games, dynamic NFTs, and others
Run heavy in-game computations off the chain
Call any API and return its results to the blockchain

Why Aurora ?

Aurora is amongst the best EVM blockchains. It is a smart contract on NEAR and benefits from all the features of the NEAR protocol. Aurora is fast and scalable, making it an excellent match for the Kenshi high-performance services. It is also a carbon-neutral blockchain with low transaction costs, making it a perfect choice for decentralized applications.

About Kenshi

Kenshi is a tech company interested in blockchain technology and distributed systems, as well as a token on the BNB Chain. While the vast majority of tokens on the market rely merely on the market hype to derive their value, Kenshi does it by bringing actual projects into life.

About Aurora

Aurora is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) based on the layer 1 proof-of-stake blockchain NEAR Protocol. Aurora provides a solution for developers to deploy their apps on an Ethereum-compatible, high-speed, scalable, and future-proof platform with low transaction costs for their users.
