9 out of 10 agree that Blockchain will disrupt the
banking and financial industry. It is estimated that
banks could save $8-12 billion annually if they
used blockchain technology.

4. Hyperledger-Colombo
There is significant investment by today’s tech
giants such as IBM and Microsoft in blockchain
technology. IBM dedicates $200 million and 1,000
employees to Blockchain-Powered projects. The
average investment in blockchain projects is $1
million.

How it is Started [MeetUp]
● Conxillium, Application of Blockchain for their
products
● Gapstars/Blockchain team/University of Moratuwa
● Business application of Blockchain
● Hyperledger: Permissioned Blockchain
● Open Source, Linux Foundation
● Contributing back to the community.
8. Hyperledger-Colombo
What is Blockchain
● Simply a chain of blocks!
● Blocks contain data/transactions
● Have specific behavior
– Append only
– Link to previous entry
– Need to comply with specific set of rules to append data
– Distributed, shared among participating members
● This type of data structure/ Database called:
Distributed Ledger

Hyperledger Blockchain
● A blockchain is a peer-to-peer distributed ledger
forged by consensus, combined with a system
for "smart contracts" and other assistive
technologies.

Smart Contracts
● Smart contracts are
simply computer
programs that
execute predefined
actions when certain
conditions within the
system are met.

13. Hyperledger-Colombo
Consensus
● This referred to the process or steps that use to
keep all members in a same agreement which
used to update the data in the ledger and sync
data between all participating members.
– Proof of Work
– Proof of Stake
– Proof of Elapsed Time

Excited to see this much of interrest for Blockchain or DL
This is the very 1st meetp, Thank you Marta for coming here.
Thank you Gapstars & Conxillium
Before start
Distributed Ledger,
Blockchain,
Cryptocurrrency
BitCoin?
Do you all know this!!!!
Worth $20 billion by 2024.
Anyway These are From Forbes
It is like within next 7 Years :)
Interesting Right!!!
The Next one
From Forbes
Baking & Finace can SAVE $8-12 Billion
Not ONLY banking & finance
Supply Chain, Governments
And
90% of major North American and European banks are exploring blockchain solutions.
And other thing… -->
From Forbes
IBM $200 million & 1000 employees
Interresting right??
Hyperledger Fabric is from IBM
Intel & Hitachi also provided their help
Hyperledger Sawtooth is from Intel I think.
Hope these facts provide some insites for you about current situation or state of Blockchain.
So Lets start with Who am I
Rajitha Gunawardhane
Java Developer, Software Engineer, Tech Lead what ever you call it.
10 yeas of experience this Feb :)
Working for Conxillium through Gapstars
Thats little bit about me.
Next Moving on to the ‘Blockchain MeetUp story’
How it is started!
Conxillium: Local government domain
2016 Dec, Director of the company said that application of blockchain for products
Business or Enterprice application of Blockchain technology
Find out Hyperledger: it is permissioned which is what we want for the products.
It is Open Source, hosted by Linux Foundation
So I did not see any reason Not to try it out.
Huge effort Products/Learning curve Business & Technical both, Marta may know all of that. You can ask from her later.
So how I can contribute back! Lets start with MeetUp build a group we can help each other Business application, Technical implementations, Jobs, etc
Agenda
I will do the 1st part
So The turm Blochchain is using in many places
BitCoin
CryptoCurrency
Distributed Ledgers
Better to clear it out.
→ Chain of Blocks
→ Blocks have data or Transactions
The important thing is the behaviour & How it work
→
→ Append only
So you cant modify data, You have to append to it.
→ Block need to have link to previous block
→ You cant just add an entry here. There are set of protocols/Agreements that needed comply.
If you have heard of Consensus & Smart Contracts are playing a role here.
→ All of this data is shared with participating members.
We can call them peers. If you know Network, peer-to peer network
→ This type of distributed data based type of Distributed ledger.
→
Data is shared between peers or memebrs.
Since it is append only/ immutable data can not be changed, Tamper proof.
Ofcourse you can update data as a new entry. Then it is visible to all participating members.
Other one
→
New transactions are Verified in different steps.
Consensus algorithms, PoW - Bitcoin, PoStake, Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET) – Sawtooth – Intel
Final state of ledger is acceptable from all peers/members.
So double check avoided.
Owner Ship of Land, Bank loan,, Cross Boarder travel.
Insurance settlement.
→
Some are saying No 3rd party. I would say reduce involvement. EX: Loans,
→
Public like BitCoin, Etherium they have private one as well.
Slower than private, because of anonymity,
→
Permissioned
Hyperledger
Fast, We know who is doing transaction.
Suitable for
….. There are others Monax, NEM
We can code this using a Programming language or Script
pre-written logic
Deployed/Stoed on the network
can result in ledger updates
Digital Contract,
PoW- Bitcoin
PoET – Sawtooth – Intel – wait time based
Hope Now you have idea about Blockchain
Thank you
Would like to invite Marta
