Overview of this book

The increasing growth in blockchain use is enormous, and it is changing the way business is done. Many leading organizations are already exploring the potential of blockchain. With this book, you will learn to build end-to-end enterprise-level decentralized applications and scale them across your organization to meet your company's needs. This book will help you understand what DApps are and how the blockchain ecosystem works, via real-world examples. This extensive end-to-end book covers every blockchain aspect for business and for developers. You will master process flows and incorporate them into your own enterprise. You will learn how to use J.P. Morgan’s Quorum to build blockchain-based applications. You will also learn how to write applications that can help communicate enterprise blockchain solutions. You will learn how to write smart contracts that run without censorship and third-party interference. Once you've grasped what a blockchain is and have learned about Quorum, you will jump into building real-world practical blockchain applications for sectors such as payment and money transfer, healthcare, cloud computing, supply chain management, and much more.

Summary


In this chapter, we looked at the various options for building interoperable blockchains. To summarize, single custodian, multisignature federations, and hash locking are easy to implement, whereas sidechains are complicated and require a lot of engineering. Soon, we will have production-permissioned blockchain platforms that have sidechains support built in. 

Finally, we implemented hash locking by simulating two central and commercial banks. You can go ahead and try to build two different networks and attempt to conduct an atomic exchange. 

In the next chapter, we will learn how to build a blockchain as a server for Quorum. While building this, we will learn about the concepts of DevOps and cloud computing too.
