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 primarily covered the first set of steps toward experimenting with an OBP solution. We have covered translating the network topology on OBP, configuring the OBP network infrastructure, configuring the OBP transaction infrastructure, adding business smartness to the OBP network, REST proxy configuration, and administrating the REST Interface.

The next chapter explores chaincode development, such as language section, development tools, and the development environment setup. It also covers the full life cycle of chaincode from development to updates, which includes installing, initiating, testing, and versioning. It demonstrates a full chaincode with a codebase built with Go and Node.js. It also illustrates endorsement policies, private data collection, chaincode testing via shim and REST endpoints, and integrating client apps with a business network using an...
