It is built for efficient in data-intensive systems & supports horizontal scaling based on sharding. Handling contract metadata without clogging the blockchain. The power stems from @Tarantaool for storing of and operating on data. Probably the first blockchain based on Tarantool

Planetmint is a quite natural extension to IPFS as it functions a "sharded", distributed, application and database service. Scales pretty well and offers powerful funtions for data availability proofs.

The upcoming days I will introduce the most interesting aspects of @Planetmint_io, the evolution of BigchainDB into a modular metadatabase blockchain on top of @Tendermint. The name gives a hint about its interoperability with @IPFS by sharing InterPlanetary Linked Data (IPLD).

We contributed to further develop BigchainDB into @Planetmint_io to extend @bitcoin and @ethereum to support sharded metadata side to side with @IPFS's p2p-file approach. Data-availability proofs and hardware oracles as fundamental tech for the physical part of the web3.
