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.

Summary

This chapter highlighted the challenges and opportunities of DLT and blockchain. This chapter also drilled into various properties of blockchain and how those properties are upheaving the usage of blockchain in various scenarios. In this chapter, we also delved into modeling a use case and demonstrated the integration aspects and infrastructure for implementing a use case. The Design strategy section mentioned the five stages of this—explore, engage, experiment, experience, and influence. We also covered the initial two stages (explore and engage) of the design strategy. We explored the design strategy by examining various use cases, justifying the adoption of blockchain, and also tried to formulate an equation to justify/quantify the employment of blockchain for a given use case. Later, we engaged in the design strategy by defining a blockchain-based business network...
