chainifyDB: How to get rid of your Blockchain and use your DBMS instead
Summary: chainifyDB is a lightweight permissioned-blockchain layer that "chainifies" heterogeneous, black‑box DBMSs instead of replacing them. It introduces Whatever‑Voting (WV) to tolerate divergent DB behaviors, recover deviating organizations, and deliver ≤8.5% overhead with up to 6× Hyperledger Fabric throughput.
