Hyperledger Goals

Provide neutral, open, & community-driven infrastructuressupported by technical and business governance

Build technical communitiesto develop blockchain and shared ledger POCs, use cases, field trials and deployments

Educatethe publicabout the market opportunity for blockchain technology

Promote our community of communitiestaking a toolkit approach with many platforms and frameworks

Create enterprise grade, open source, distributed ledger frameworks &code basesto support business transactions

Where open source teams build diverse approaches for business blockchain technology systems

Blockchain allows multiple different parties to securely interact with the same universal source of truth

Streamlined settlement, improved liquidity, increased transparency and new products/markets

FinanceUnite disparate processes, increase data flow and liquidity, reduce costs and improve patient experience and outcomes

HealthcareTrack parts and service provenance, ensure authenticity of goods, block counterfeits, reduce conflicts

Supply Chain

Shared Ledger Database

Hyperledger Business Blockchain Frameworks

Fabric – Blockchain implementation intended as foundation for developing applications or solutions with a modular architecture that allows components, such as consensus and membership services, to be plug-and-playIroha – Distributed ledger project designed to be simple and easy to incorporate into infrastructural projects requiring distributed ledger technology.Sawtooth Lake – Distributed ledger technology with potential in many fields, from IoT to Financials, and an architecture that recognizes the diversity of requirements across that spectrum. Support for both permissioned and permissionless deployments.

Cloudsoft Blockchain Service

• Deploy Hyperledger Fabric to virtually any environment (public or private cloud, bare metal, or bring-your-own-nodes) using Cloudsoft AMP

• Lets developers focus on creating smart contracts, not the plumbing

• Speeds up time to value for enterprises investigating and working with blockchain technologies, for example financial institutions that want to set up their own blockchain networks running across multiple geographies

• Cloudsoft Blockchain Service is available via the IBM Marketplace

• Cloudsoft is a core member of the IBM Blockchain Ecosystem @cloudsoft

Demo – Scenario

Hugely successful Sotheby’s auction• Every lot exceeds its reserve price and is sold on the nightThe collection is split up and acquired by three art collectors• Charlie, Dave and Edwina who are tech savvy and want to loan

each other worksSotheby’s sets up a secure private asset management system• Alice deploys chaincode and makes Bob the administratorSotherby’s initializes asset management system• Bob loads auction results – ensuring each lot is allocated to

correct collector
