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.

Developing Solutions on Oracle Blockchain Platform

The previous chapter allowed you to experiment with doing rather than reading about doing, as it effectively demonstrated developing the samples. The preceding chapter offered in-depth facts on the Oracle Blockchain Platform (OBP) and taught the practicalities of translating network topology on OBP, creating network stakeholders, and configuring OBP instances. This concluding chapter delves into chaincode and covers details of chaincode development, including the language section, development tools, and development environment setup. This chapter also focuses on mapping asset models, operations, and developing chaincode functions and interfaces. It details the full life cycle of chaincode, from development to updates, including installation, initiation, testing, and versioning. It also demonstrates the full chaincode with a code...
