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.

Managing Solutions on Oracle Blockchain Platform

The previous chapter covered the business scenario and allowed us to explore Oracle Blockchain Platform (OBP). Managing solutions using OBP is a cinch; it allows you to experiment with the doing rather than reading about the doing, as it effectively demonstrates the doing with samples. This chapter offers in-depth facts on OBP and allows you to graduate with the practical knowledge of OBP. With this chapter, you'll get into the practicality of translating the network topology onto OBP, creating network stakeholders, and configuring OBP instances. This ledger of knowledge illustrates setting up transaction infrastructures, joining participants to business networks, access control, adding smartness (chaincode) to business networks, and using the REST proxy configuration to expose chaincode to dApps. For the most part, the OBP...
