Projects Covered:

Project 1: Business Network of a Finance Company

Description: Build and test the business network of a finance company in Hyperledger Composer and deploy it on IBM Bluemix.

Project 2: Healthcare Insurance

Description: Insta-Health, a healthcare organization, has a new project that will use Blockchain to improve and automate its health insurance process. You must develop a business network through which patients can opt for health insurance from Insta- Health.

Project 3: Verification of User Identity

Description: A user is trying to access your application by entering his personal details. Develop a smart contract to verify the user’s identity before allowing him access to your application.

Project 4: Smart Contract for Movie Ratings

Description: An entertainment industry has hired you as a Blockchain developer to create a decentralized movie rating application. You need to build a smart contract for movie ratings and test it on a local Blockchain network.

Project 5: Smart Contract for Banking Application

Description: Write a simple bank smart contract in solidity that allows users to do the following: Deposit money into their account Withdraw money from their account Check balance After a contract is created, deploy the contract on Ropsten network

Project 6: Transform the Supply Chain

Description: The traditional seafood supply chain industry has illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing practices. You are required to bring traceability and accountability to the supply chain through the power of Hyperledger Sawtooth technology.

Project 7: Deploy an Animal Tracking Business Network

Description: The government farming regulators are not able to track the locations of all animals and their movements between farms. You are supposed to create and deploy a business network to solve the problem.

Project 8: Smart Contract to Issue Your Own Digital Token

Description: Working as a software professional in a financial organization, you are required to develop a tradable token with a fixed supply that can be utilized as a currency, share, or an asset. Develop a smart contract to design and issue your own digital token.

Project 9: Decentralized Marketplace Application

Description: Centralized marketplace has issues about trusting the transacting participants. People tend to trust sellers with a reputation in the market, which makes it hard for new sellers to do business. Develop a smart contract for decentralized marketplace application.

Project 10: Deploy a Car Auction Business Network

Description: In a car auction, the price of your car is set by the company itself. Therefore, there is always a mediating or commission fee involved. Instead, we can create an interactive decentralized auction network where the highest bidder gets the car.

Project 11: Stock exchange on Multichain

Description: The stock exchange model is centralized, slow, and expensive. Hence, optimization is required. Develop a Multichain based stock exchange market, which makes the system decentralized, simple, efficient, fast, transparent, and secure.
