Betty Blocks works by having its own engineers write a foundational codebase. Developers use this as a starting point, a sandbox where they can build what they need without touching raw programming. Obdam sees this reshaping how apps get made across industries, with blockchain standing to benefit most.
Software teams across industries can't find enough programmers. Chinese blockchain companies throw substantial salaries at foreign talent, trying to fill gaps on their teams. The competition for engineers is fierce, and many companies can't pursue projects because they lack the technical staff. A no-code approach shrinks the pool of specialists you need. Banks and financial institutions stand to gain the most. No-code tools would let them build new financial products without needing massive engineering teams. Customers would see the benefits in faster innovation, improved transaction capabilities, and expanded services.
Teams finish projects faster because they need fewer specialized engineers. Companies don't lose ground from being unable to attract talent. Fewer technical bottlenecks mean more applications get completed.
For blockchain specifically, no-code tools open doors to teams that understand the domain but lack engineering expertise. Imagine building financial products the way you'd assemble Lego: snap pieces together, test what works, ship it. That's the vision Obdam wants his platform to deliver.
