Kaleido API

https://api.kaleido.io/

Platform

Kaleido Platform API As a business network full stack platform, Kaleido provides a complete set of API for administrators, network operators and DApps developers. The administrative endpoints provide full lifecycle operations around platform resources (consortia, environment, nodes, services, etc.) Each participating organization can use the API to fully automate the DevOps pipeline. Most of the resources are scoped to the organization that the logged in user is associated with. Some resources like consortia and environments support decentralized governance.

Services
	Cloud HSM Signer Sign transactions using off-platform keys stored in a Hardware Security Module (HSM) backed cloud service, or a software key vault. Fully managed transaction signing capability with nonce management and REST APIs
	Document Store Store, manage and share information from your own private document store
	Eth Wallet Ethereum Wallets allow DApps to host transaction signing keys. Using the API a DApp can add new Ethereum accounts, query the available accounts, and pick an account to sign a transaction payload.
	HD Wallet Hierarchical Determinisitc Wallets signs transactions using a large number of keys derived from the same root key but appear to be independent.
	REST API Gateway Enterprise Grade Connectivity for your Applications. Auto-generated REST APIs for your smart contracts. Reliable transaction streaming and nonce management. Reliable event streams.
	Rotate Signers The Rotating Signers service can be configured to have different target signers count, rotation size, and rotation interval. It also allows for the rotation algorithm to be configurable, although currently the only supported algorithm is "oldest-first", meaning the signers that have been active the longest will be voted out in the next rotation. We welcome feedback on the need for other algorithms.
	Ethereum Mainnet Tether The Public Ethereum Tether service hightens the security of a permissioned blockchain running in Kaleido, by pinning signed state hashes to an Ethereum public chain. Using the service API a DApp can configure the interval to collect the state hashes and submit the signed payload to the target Ethereum network, as well as downloading a pinned state from the network to verify the integrity of the local network.
	Token Factory Token Factory service makes it trivial to generate and deploy token smart contracts for token specifications ERC20 (for fungible tokens) and ERC721 (for non-fungible tokens). Token Contracts manage the total supply, ownership, transfers, delegate spenders, as well as minting and burning tokens.
	Token Swap Token Swaps are a mechanism to allow two parties to securely trade tokens. Each swap is made up of two trades between the swap initiator and the counterparty. One trade per token contract. For a swap to work, the initiator creates a trade to transfer the token(s) owned by the initiator to the counterparty. In response, the counterparty creates a 2nd trade to transfer the token(s) owned by the counterparty to the initiator.
	Zero Knowledge Token With Kaleido's Zero Knowledge Token Transfer service, transfers are conducted with Zero Knowledge Proofs such that the transactions are both confidential (the balances and transfer amounts are concealed), and anonymous (the sender and receiver identities are concealed).

Event Streams - using Kafka, IPFS

https://www.kaleido.io/blockchain-platform/event-streams

Document Exchange Service 

#SWT Linked Data Exchange ( my idea -  LDE )

links high level entities -  cases, orders, jobs, requests etc that have a life cycle 

1. Common protocols defined across each ... 
2. The HLE has lower level events, transactions for the life cycle 
3. Metadata definition of the HLE life cycle, services api
4. Both the HLE and LLT can be linked to blockchains 
5. HLX creates a write request to EBC
6. EBC returns a transaction id in completion event or error event
7. the HLX sent to store service with EBC TID, status
8. Store service can be: Kafka msg, IPFS, DB service, grpc or ???

HLX Demo steps 

1. Define the HLE, LLT api using template of X
2. Build and Deploy 
3. Show REST API for the generated HLE, LLT
4. Run Demo of API for HLE, LLT using Postman or ???
