Session: Role of Containers in Enterprise Blockchain Architecture
Containers are becoming fundamental pieces in creation of innovative
Blockchain networks called 'VirtualChain'. A virtual blockchain created
using 'Trusted Container Network', is a layer that sits on top of a
blockchain that introduces new functionality and operations without
requiring changes to the underlying blockchain.
New operations are defined in the virtual blockchain layer and are
encoded in the metadata of valid blockchain transactions. Blockchain
nodes do see the raw transactions, but the logic for processing the
virtual blockchain operations only exists at the virtual blockchain
level. The core functionalities of Blockchain stack will be running as
containers performing critical operations with trusted channels.
The talk will focus on evolution of 'Virtualchain' from containers and
its role in building 'Enterprise class Decentralization/ Blockchain
architecture' with Live Demo.
