Launched in April 2020, China’s Blockchain Service Network was designed to serve as a hosting platform for small and medium-sized businesses as well as independent entrepreneurs alike. The network seeks to provide developers with a wide array of tools to devise various novel blockchain applications, thus enabling the creation of a standardized blockchain ecosystem across various public networks, regions and business sectors.
However, less than three months after deployment, the BSN has split into two separate entities — BSN-Chain and BSN-International — reportedly after disagreements arose around the network’s members deciding to integrate public blockchains into its existing framework.
