Digital Asset’s DAML will connect diverse blockchains on a national DLT project in China, as the Blockchain Services Network (BSN), the largest blockchain infrastructure initiative in China, now has a unified smart contract programming language.
It has been reported that Red Date Technology, a major tech company involved in the BSN’s development, will add support for DAML, a smart contract language developed by Digital Asset.
On September 14, the companies’ executives said that DAML will now be the “exclusive standard” for developing decentralized applications (DApps) on top of the BSN.
However, the integration will enable the interoperability of DApps regardless of the implemented blockchain network. As such, developers will not have to rewrite their smart contracts each time they deploy a certain application on BSN to a new platform based on another blockchain.

According to the report, Red Date Technology and Digital Asset are planning to complete the first DAML pilot on the BSN by November 2020, as the pilot will involve the deployment of a DAML application interoperating two blockchains — Hyperledger Fabric and WeBank’s FISCO BCOS.
The firms’ representatives said that the application will further be integrated into the core BSN architecture. Following the pilot, general availability for developers building with DAML on BSN is anticipated in 2021.
Yifan He, the CEO of Red Date Technology, said that DAML will now act as the exclusive smart contract language of the BSN.
He added:
“By selecting DAML as the exclusive smart contract language of the BSN itself, our developers will gain the choice of using one unifying smart contract language seamlessly and interoperably across every blockchain.”
Likewise, Yuval Rooz, the co-founder and CEO of Digital Asset, said that connecting global blockchain platforms is a “key to global adoption.”
Thus, Rooz added:
“There are multiple blockchain platforms available and more coming to market […] BSN already has incredible traction with more than 130 nodes in production across China. By integrating with DAML, the BSN will have one unified language for applications and a cutting-edge interoperability protocol to further enable this vision.”
