Waves has announced that is has integrated with Microsoft Azure, making its Smart Asset and Smart Account functionality available to developers on the cloud platform.
Waves’ smart accounts and smart assets are now available to developers on Azure Marketplace in a special extension for Visual Studio Code, which simplifies the process of creating and operating smart contracts.
Two new virtual machine templates in Azure can be used for setting up new options on a public or private blockchain.
‘Unlike other similar solutions, non-Turing complete smart contracts from Waves offer increased security and protection from vulnerabilities due to the option of restricting functionality to avoid undesirable use’, comments Sasha Ivanov, Founder and CEO of Waves Platform.
