AppBase release candidate is now ready

Back in August we shared with you news of some of the exciting updates being made to the Steem blockchain. One of those updates is AppBase, which will create distinct “modules” that will dramatically improve Steem’s ability to scale.

AppBase is the first step in creating a multi-chain FABRIC. AppBase enables many components of the Steem blockchain to become modular by creating additional non-consensus blockchains as dedicated plugins. These plugins can be updated much more rapidly because they do not require replaying the entire blockchain.
