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 covered details about chaincode development such as the language section, development tools, and development environment setup. It detailed the full life cycle of chaincode, from development to updates, which included installation, initiation, testing, and versioning. It demonstrated the full chaincode with a code base built on Go and Node.js. It illustrated endorsement policies and private data collections and their functioning in concert with chaincode. It covered chaincode testing via shim and REST endpoints and integrating client apps with a business network using an SDK, REST, and events. Finally, it concluded with insights into chaincode, transactions, and channels by experimenting with the monitoring of a business via chaincode logs and channel logs.
