Design and Development of a Unified Blockchain Framework for offering National Blockchain Service and creation of Ecosystem

The objectives of the project are

• To architect an unified Blockchain technology stack for rapid, end-to-end, secure, scalable and interoperable Blockchain based application development and deployment, for large scale adoption, supporting the following components:

  • Design Patterns based Smart Contract Templates

  • Addressing the performance and scalability concerns

  • Interoperability protocol across divergent platforms

  • Security at application and core layers of framework to achieve confidentiality, authenticity, data privacy, anonymity and validation of transactions.

  • Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing tools, security assessment methodologies and guidelines.

• Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) Infrastructure

• Accelerating adoption of Blockchain in Government

• Organizing Capacity building programs and collaborating with startups.

Use Cases

• Potential applications are Education Certificate Chain, Drug Logistics Supply Chain, GST Enforcement activities, State Excise Supply chain, Public Distribution System, Blood Bank, Government e-Marketplace (GeM), National Health Records, Electronics & Semiconductor supply chain, Trace & Track supply chain applications, Blockchain enabled Digilocker etc.
