Deep dives
Definition of a Platform
A platform is defined as a foundational infrastructure on which applications can be built rather than the application itself. It provides necessary infrastructure to develop and implement additional applications on top of it. For example, a blockchain can be seen as a platform on which applications can be deployed, and these applications can themselves serve as platforms for deploying other applications.
