Incubated at the University of Notre Dame in 2017, SIMBA Chain (short for Simple Blockchain Applications) is a fully integrated development platform enterprises use to bridge and connect to Web3. SIMBA Blocks is at the core of this offering, abstracting the complexities of blockchain development to make Web3 accessible to all.

The SIMBA Blocks platform delivers a low-configuration environment that auto-generates REST APIs capable of connecting to smart contracts on multiple blockchain protocols. With the ability to choose and migrate between public, private, and hybrid chains, enterprises can optimize their blockchain applications while future-proofing Web3 investments.

As an enterprise-proven platform, SIMBA Blocks bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3, supporting the creation of secure, scalable, and flexible blockchain solutions. By eliminating much of the administrative and technical burden that comes with development, teams can focus on building solutions that harness the potential of blockchain to deliver mission-critical business results.
