We started the Perkle Network 1 year ago today as the layer 1 foundation on which to build the greater Esprezzo ecosystem. This is true in a technical and community-oriented sense: the act of building and growing a decentralized network through cooperation of miners, developers and community participation is at the core of the emerging culture of our business. While we embarked on this a year ago today, it was by no means the beginning of Esprezzo.
PerkleBot: Our Discord Bot Now Interacts with Smart Contracts
We’ve added some new capabilities to PerkleBot, our blockchain-integrated Discord bot built using Discord’s API and Esprezzo middleware libraries. Now in addition to tipping, creating and managing Discord crypto wallets and getting up-to-date network stats, Esprezzo community members can interact with tokens and smart contracts on the Perkle blockchain without leaving Discord. At the same time this update is also helping us test the underlying code connecting the Perkle blockchain to the Esprezzo Network.

One of our primary goals at Esprezzo is to create tools that make it less complex and time-consuming to create and manage modern web and decentralized apps. For developers, this often means getting common boilerplate code and services out of the way by relying on tested and proven implementations of things like authentication, user accounts, application structure, compiler/transpiler pipelines etc. There are tools attempting to solve these problems to various degrees by offering web frameworks with plugins, or completely serverless backend solutions that replace the database and server-side app layer with a REST API.

Read moreThe official Esprezzo Block Explorer is live!
Today we’re excited to announce the initial release of the official Esprezzo Block Explorer! If you’re unfamiliar with the function, use case or “raison d’être” of a block explorer, it’s essentially a web application that makes it easy to view, search, and “explore” data and activity on one or more blockchains.
Block explorers are useful for checking the status of transactions, as well as just poking around a blockchain to learn more about how it is structured and what data it contains, but more importantly, a block explorer is an essential tool for blockchain-related software development. Whether creating a new decentralized application (DApp) or integrating blockchain data into an existing product, a well-designed block explorer can increase developer happiness and productivity by allowing them to more conveniently monitor the real-time metrics, activity, and status of blocks, transactions and other on-chain data.

Read moreWhat is Perkle (PRKL)?
While working on the Esprezzo platform and rapid application development tools for building blockchain-integrated apps, we saw an opportunity to provide developers a performant, cost-efficient, egalitarian blockchain and smart contract platform to build and test on — one that’s less congested and focused on fostering development rather than a speculative trading instrument. And so, we built Perkle: a mineable Proof-of-Work, fairly released Ethereum-compatible blockchain and smart contract platform.

Read moreProduct Preview: Set Up and Deploy a Project to Blockchain in a Few Easy Steps
Our goal with Esprezzo is to help developers build and manage blockchain-integrated applications without needing to learn new, complicated programming languages or hire blockchain architects and infrastructure experts.
Today, we’re excited to share a very early preview of Esprezzo, with an example use case of setting up a token and token sale in a few easy steps. We show a few examples of project types that are used to generate smart contracts, and the ability to select a blockchain to deploy to, as well as pick SDKs for use with your apps in the language of your choice.
