This lab project proposes an alternative to these models, and it is designed specifically for permissioned blockchain networks, but later expanded to permissionless ones as well.

How It Works

Blockchain Integration Framework introduces an “interoperability validator” overlay network for each of the interoperable blockchains. Interoperability validators are known or broadly discoverable by the ecosystem and are typically participants already taking part in the governance or consensus. Interoperability validators will collectively handle export requests from local nodes by verifying against their version of the ledger (steps 1 to 3). Each request is answered by a (configurable) minimum quorum of validator signatures necessary or rejected as fast as possible (steps 4 and 5). The network can continue working even if some of the validators are down, or not participating, but assuming the minimum quorum can be guaranteed. Messages certified by a distributed ledger’s transfer validators can be delivered by any secure off-chain communication system (step 6). A proof coming from a foreign distributed ledger can be verified against the public keys of the transfer validators of that foreign distributed ledger either locally by the recipient or using an on-chain logic –- typically smart-contracts (step 7 and 8)

Blockchain Interoperability with Hyperledger Cacti Workshop

Time:

• Monday November 14, 2022 from 11am - 2pm ET

Registration:

Registration for the event is free.  If you're interested in attending, we ask that you sign up now since space is limited.

• Registration for the Cacti Workshop

Workshop description:

We present the "Blockchain Interoperability with Hyperledger Cacti" workshop, the first Hyperledger Foundation Community Workshop dedicated to blockchain interoperability. This is a three hour online course to introduce the core concepts and principles of blockchain interoperability. You will learn the foundations of interoperability, followed by an introduction to several Hyperledger projects on the field: Weaver, YUI, Firefly, and Cacti. We present in depth several Cacti's components, including its Plugin Architecture, API Server, Test Development & Execution (All-In-One Container Images), an Hello World of Cacti, and considerations about the future of the project.

Preparation :

1) Install the project dependencies and development environment described at the developer's guide (until the command yarn run configure).

2) Run a test from any package to confirm that everything is correctly setup. Follow the instructions from the developer's guide from the yarn run configure step up to the build-script-decision tree step (excluding).

This workshop only supports Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM (or bare metal).
