BlockApps, the leading enterprise blockchain platform employing Ethereum technology, has announced that it is launching China Blockchain as a Service with its key partner Microsoft and via 21vianet.

Victor Wong, CEO and Founder of BlockApps, made the announcement during International Blockchain Week 2016. He said:

“Now for the first time, Chinese developers will be able to access the same tools as blockchain developers around the world. But that's not all...It won’t only be on Microsoft Azure. It will be on all major Chinese clouds, from Tencent Cloud, Aliyun Cloud, to Wancloud".

About a year ago, BlockApps, together with key partners Microsoft & ConsenSys, launched Blockchain as a Service (Baas), enabling developers to build a blockchain environment in a matter of minutes.

Wong said that in order to fuel BlockApps’ expansion globally, and in China, the team worked with investors from Hong Kong, China, and the US led by Fenbushi Capital and the Wanxiang Group. This led to the company landing projects in China, which includes pilot production systems from Minsheng Insurance, Wanxiang Smart City, and Qianhai Smart City.

Wong concluded saying, “Now for the first time, we believe with China Baas, that China will become the largest blockchain market service in the world.”
