TL;DR
This paper introduces Operations Smart Contract (OpsSC), a decentralized workflow system for consortium blockchain operations, specifically implemented for Hyperledger Fabric v2.x to improve efficiency and reduce manual tasks.
Contribution
The paper proposes and implements OpsSC, a novel smart contract-based method to automate and decentralize system operations across organizations in consortium blockchains.
Findings
OpsSC enables decentralized execution of channel and chaincode operations.
Implementation is open-sourced as a Hyperledger Labs project.
OpsSC clarifies detailed operational workflows for blockchain management.
Abstract
Enterprises have paid attention to consortium blockchains like Hyperledger Fabric, which is one of the most promising platforms, for efficient decentralized transactions without depending on any particular organization. A consortium blockchain-based system will be typically built across multiple organizations. In such blockchain-based systems, system operations across multiple organizations in a decentralized manner are essential to maintain the value of introducing consortium blockchains. Decentralized system operations have recently been becoming realistic with the evolution of consortium blockchains. For instance, the release of Hyperledger Fabric v2.x, in which individual operational tasks for a blockchain network, such as command execution of configuration change of channels (Fabric's sub-networks) and upgrade of chaincodes (Fabric's smart contracts), can be partially executed in a…
