Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure providing access to data in blockchain blocks from various applications. In one embodiment, a blockframe component receives read requests from different applications, with each read request specifying a corresponding data model and a corresponding block identifier. In response to each read request, the blockframe component interfaces with the blockchain instance to retrieve a corresponding set of data units from a respective block identified by the corresponding block identifier (specified in the read request). The blockframe component then converts the retrieved set of data units to a corresponding set of data elements according to the application data model specified in the read request and then provides the corresponding set of data elements (according to the respective application data model) to the application sending the read request. As such, accessing blockchain data from different applications is facilitated.
