The Bloq platform presents developers with powerful infrastructure for developing on multiple blockchain networks, allowing exploration of the different possibilities across those networks and scaling as the best ideas emerge.

### Why develop your blockchain application with Bloq?

#### Powerful Infrastructure

The Bloq platform is backed by a cluster of synced nodes and continuously indexed data, giving developers what they need to build the next generation of blockchain applications.

#### Network Effects

Start with one blockchain, explore others — we’re built to support several blockchain networks and we continue to add more.

#### Multiple Services

Starting with Bloq Connect (blockchain APIs and indexed data) and Bloq Nodes (fault-tolerant node clusters) the Bloq platform continues to evolve and will integrate additional services over time.

#### Familiar Interfaces

Bloq Connect service allows you to move from brainstorm to blockchain quickly, with common APIs (JSON-RPC, REST & WebSocket).
