About The Linux Foundation

The Linux Foundation is the organization of choice for the world's top developers and companies to build ecosystems that accelerate open technology development and commercial adoption. Together with the worldwide open source community, it is solving the hardest technology problems by creating the largest shared technology investment in history. Founded in 2000, The Linux Foundation today provides tools, training and events to scale any open source project, which together deliver an economic impact not achievable by any one company.

The Linux Foundation has 16 years experience of providing governance structure and infrastructure to support the development of large scale, successful open source projects such as:

Project GoalsBuild an Open Source developer-focused community of communities to benefit an ecosystem of Hyperledger-based solution providers and users, focused on blockchain-related use cases that will work across a variety of industry sectors.

Through this, create a family of enterprise grade, open source blockchain frameworks, platforms, and libraries, upon which anyone can build and run their own applications to meet real business needs.

Involve developers, service providers, solution providers and end users in the development and promotion of the software, using the best practices of a multi-stakeholder Open Source community.

Host the collaboration environment for the community, establishing a neutral home for community infrastructure, meetings, events and collaborative discussions and providing structure around the business and technical governance of Hyperledger.

Who Supports Hyperledger?

There will not be only one blockchain, or a chain-of-all-chains.

There will be many public chains and millions of private chains, potentially each with a different consensus mechanism, preferred smart contract language/mechanism, and other characteristics.

The more common code underlying these chains, the better for everyone.

This is still early days – perhaps like 1994 and the Web?

StatusThis project is in Incubation

DescriptionFabric is an implementation of blockchain technology, leveraging familiar and proven technologies. It is a modular architecture allowing pluggable implementations of various functions. It features powerful container technology to host any mainstream language for smart contracts development.

Key CharacteristicsPermissioned network, core written in Go, chaincode in Go or Java.

Deploying the Blockchain Network

Hugely successful Sotheby’s auctionEvery lot exceeds its reserve price and is sold on the night

The collection is split up and acquired by three art collectorsCharlie, Dave and Edwina who are tech savvy and want to loan each other works

Sotheby’s sets up a secure private asset management systemAlice deploys chaincode and makes Bob the administrator

Sotherby’s initializes asset management systemBob loads auction results – ensuring each lot is allocated to correct collector

Demo – Scenario

@itsMeMikeZ

Demo – Asset ManagementThe asset management chaincode is a simple example designed to show how to exercise access control at the chaincode level as described in this document:

https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric/blob/master/docs/tech/application-ACL.md

The chaincode exposes the following functions:

init(user): Initialize the chaincode assigning to user the role of administratorassign(asset, user): Assigns the ownership of asset to user. Notice that, this function can be invoked only by an administratortransfer(asset, user): Transfer the ownership of asset to user. Notice that this function can be invoked only by the owner of assetquery(asset): Returns the identifier of the owner of asset
