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.

Engage in Business Case on Blockchain Platform

The preceding chapter explored Hyperledger's architecture and showed you how to assemble an example Hyperledger-based business network. It provided an explanation of founder-based and consortium-based business networks. It illustrated business network components, adding peers to channels, and working with chaincode and smart contracts. It also covered identity, security, privacy, membership services, channels, ledgers, and transaction flow. In this chapter, we'll learn how to design the solution in line with the constructs of the Oracle Blockchain Platform (OBP). This chapter has two parts: the first part focuses on defining a use case around certificate issuance and sharing certificates with trusted parties on a Blockchain network. The second part covers the Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform, which offers an effective...
