Oracle Blockchain Quick Start Guide

By: Vivek Acharya, Anand Eswararao Yerrapati, Nimesh Prakash

Overview of this book

Hyperledger Fabric empowers enterprises to scale out in an unprecedented way, allowing organizations to build and manage blockchain business networks. This quick start guide systematically takes you through distributed ledger technology, blockchain, and Hyperledger Fabric while also helping you understand the significance of Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS). The book starts by explaining the blockchain and Hyperledger Fabric architectures. You'll then get to grips with the comprehensive five-step design strategy - explore, engage, experiment, experience, and in?uence. Next, you'll cover permissioned distributed autonomous organizations (pDAOs), along with the equation to quantify a blockchain solution for a given use case. As you progress, you'll learn how to model your blockchain business network by defining its assets, participants, transactions, and permissions with the help of examples. In the concluding chapters, you'll build on your knowledge as you explore Oracle Blockchain Platform (OBP) in depth and learn how to translate network topology on OBP. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with OBP and have developed the skills required for infrastructure setup, access control, adding chaincode to a business network, and exposing chaincode to a DApp using REST configuration.

Design strategy

This section will cover the details around designing a blockchain solution to build a business network. Many enterprises, entrepreneurs, and organizations are analyzing blockchain. They are adopting blockchain to gain transactional speed for business-to-business transactions, store information in an immutable way, and share it securely. For businesses, blockchain is a platform where peers exchange values via transactions, without the interference of a central arbitrator. All of this is good; however, where should we start? This section covers defining a design strategy for blockchain.

I have used the following terms from my book, We Wake With Noah, and found it interesting that the self-improvement concepts I explored in that book can be applied to technology as well :
