The State of Blockchain Interoperability in 2021 - Rafael Belchior, INESC-ID & Instituto Superior Técnico
Blockchain interoperability is emerging as one of the crucial features of blockchain technology, but the knowledge necessary for achieving it is fragmented. This fact makes it challenging for academics and the industry to seamlessly achieve interoperability among blockchains.Given the novelty and potential of this new domain, in this talk, we present an overview of blockchain interoperability, based on a survey comprising a corpus of 332 documents. Our review classifies studies into three categories: Cryptocurrency-directed interoperability approaches, Blockchain Engines, and Blockchain Connectors. Each category is further divided into sub-categories based on defined criteria. We discuss not only studies within each category and subcategory but also across categories, providing a holistic overview of this area including the most recent Hyperledger project, Hyperledger Cactus.

Create Tokens Implementing ERC20 and ERC721 on Hyperledger Fabric - Yuki Kondo, Hitachi, Ltd.
The number of tokens issued on Blockchain is increasing. Token represents various assets like coins, reward points, securities, tickets and properties. Blockchain is used to track the ownership of tokens and keep the transparency of transactions. When B2B companies issue tokens, they need to consider the specification of tokens and the process to get signatures from appropriate stakeholders. Hyperledger Fabric is suitable for B2B tokens because it has built-in features like organization-based identity model, endorsement policies and data privacy. In this session, Yuki will explain the token contributed to fabric-samples and how to try it. The token is Chaincode implementing ERC20 and ERC721 interfaces on Hyperledger Fabric. The Chaincode has functions to issue, transfer and redeem fungible tokens and non-fungible tokens. The token is customizable for advanced use cases.

Blockchain, Biometrics and Geo Location: the Implementation of Innovative Technologies at the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF) - Dino Cataldo Dell’Accio, UNJSPF & Shashank Rai, UNICC
In January 2021, in accordance with its digital transformation strategy, UNJSPF deployed a solution based on blockchain and biometrics to transform a legacy process with a global reach (70K beneficiaries located in more than 195 countries). The solution offers an alternative to paper-based processes. UNJSPF beneficiaries are required to sign and submit a ‘Certificate of Entitlement,’ or ‘CE,’ every year as a “proof of existence” and proof of country of residence, to continue receiving their benefits. With this ‘Digital CE solution,’ UNJSPF aims to create, verify and secure the digital identities of beneficiaries - while also preventing fraud – using biometrics; identifying their locations with geo-location technology; and storing transactions on an immutable, traceable and independently auditable ledger, using the Hyperledger Indy blockchain platform. The Digital CE solution addresses both technical or business audiences with focus on innovation and technology for social good. This solution was selected as a finalist in Gartner’s Eye on Innovation Awards for Government 2020. It was selected because it demonstrated how emerging technology can be combined to allow the service to be delivered in a completely different way, improving integrity and efficiency.

UAE Trade Connect - UAE's First and Largest Blockchain based Trade Finance Platform - Waqas Mirza, Avanza Innovations
Banks offer various Trade Finance solutions to their clients under Letters of Credit or Open Account using products and solutions like, Trust Receipt Financing, Invoice Discounting, Factoring, Receivable Finance and Supply Chain Finance. The challenges that banks face is the risk of potential double financing and frauds as there is no robust mechanism in place to validate the genuineness of the underlying trade transactions or whether the transaction has been pre-financed through any other bank. These risks have evolved leaving the banks to grapple with severe Financial Crime Risks like, over and under invoicing, Sanctions, Trade Based Money Laundering, resulting in fraud losses to banks and reduced financing to Corporates and SMEs. Developed on Hyperledger Fabric, UAE Trade Connect (UTC) is a State of The Art National Platform for digitizing and securing Trade.

Transparency, Security and Auditability of Critical Reporting Chains with Blockchain - Nikolaos Saklampanakis & Ece Kubilay, Fujitsu
E. Kubilay and N. Saklampanakis will present a joint project of Fujitsu and Hexagon that brings together IoT, AI , security monitoring and HL-Fabric for handling critical security events. Handling security incidents, results in reporting chains: The creation of an alarm, the context, the handling it receives, and finally the auditing process, are all rings of such a reporting chain. Critical security incidents might result increased monetary costs or even lead to life-threatening situations if not handled optimally. It is thus of utmost importance to ensure that the event is handled with the highest possible standards, and that the reporting chain depicts the truth in a transparent auditable manner. And these are exactly the challenges we address with Hyperledger Fabric. Join our session to get insights and lessons learned from building this project and enjoy a live demo.

DIDComm and the Self-Sovereign Internet - Phillip J. Windley, Ph.D., Brigham Young University
DIDComm is the messaging protocol implemented in Hyperledger Aries that provides utility for DID-based relationships. Many may think DIDComm is just a way to exchange credentials, but it's more than that. DIDComm is a protocol layer capable of supporting specialized application protocols for specific workflows. Because of its general nature and inherent support for self-sovereign relationships, DIDComm provides a basis for a self-sovereign internet much more private, enabling, and flexible than the one we've built using Web 2.0 technologies. This talk introduces DIDComm, discusses its protocological nature, and presents use cases in the Internet of Things. Demonstrations of DIDComm protocol interactions will be shown on the Pico platform, which implements the Aries Cloud Agent (ACA) specification.

Utility NFTs on Hyperledger Fabric - Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan, Staque
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have taken the market by storm. However, all notable examples - music, sports, digital art - can be classified as "design tokens" (dNFTs) as they primarily gain value through aesthetic or emotional appeal. We believe there is a whole untapped market for "utility tokens" (uNFTs) that would derive value from functionality and utility certificates. While dNFTs are easily minted on public blockchains with contract-oriented programming support, the complexity of uNFTs requires chaincode execution in a general language, and often, in permissioned settings. This makes Hyperledger Fabric a perfect fit for our use cases which include uNFTs for compiling and trading provably valid data, tokenizing machine learning models with performance certificates, and using the above for lifecycle management of ESG projects attached to green and sustainability bonds. The second application will be demonstrated, and the rest discussed during the talk.

Fast, Secure, and Accurate Evaluation of Prescription Drug Reimbursement Claims using Hyperledger Fabric - Alevtina Dubovitskaya, Swisscom AG
For the reimbursement of some new medicines, health authorities authorize a pre-approval process based on clinical criteria by the health insurance provider. The traditional pre-approval process is paper-based, lacks interoperability and trust, and is often time-consuming, costly, and error-prone. A consortium consisting of a pharmaceutical company, insurance companies, two large teaching hospitals, and a technology provider, created a blockchain-based system using Hyperledger Fabric to optimise the pre-approval process and improve patient treatment. The system was tested with clinical patient data in the setting and compared with the traditional paper-based process regarding.

Bringing Trust and Privacy-Preserving Smart Contracts to Clinical Trials in Healthcare - Andrew Weiss, UMBC (in partnership with Softhread) & Bruno Vavala, Intel
The Healthcare ecosystem is undergoing a digital transformation to improve efficiency and costs. However, the transition from paper forms to PDFs, and from mail to email, still leaves many regulatory compliance aspects prone to human error. This is often the case with multi-site research clinical trials, which are subject to antiquated, costly and centralized data management processes. Each site is responsible for obtaining informed consent from participants, but problems associated with data integrity and conformance to the study’s guidelines can arise. Softhread will discuss how blockchain can be used in multi-site clinical trials to address existing security challenges and streamline information sharing. Also, with IBM and Intel, it will showcase a platform based on Fabric Private Chaincode, that preserves smart contract transaction confidentiality in hybrid cloud deployments.

Blockchain-based Decision-support and Longitudinal Data Storage, with Illustration for Diabetes Type 2 Management - Alevtina Dubovitskaya, HSLU (Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts)
Clinical decision pathways evolve and demand multiple assessment steps, access to distributed data sources, and orchestration of various processes executed by diverse consortia of stakeholders. Alevtina will present a demo of a blockchain-based system for decision support and longitudinal data storage, with a use case based on the treatment of diabetes type 2. The system allows encoding dynamic processes and rules that access relevant data and guide clinicians and patients towards optimal decisions in a shorter time. The Business Process Management (BPM) technology is layered on top of a blockchain-based architecture that leverages private data collections and multiple channels for privacy and separation of concerns. The use of blockchain also allows collecting data from the everyday care of broad populations, opening an opportunity for a fundamentally new style of medical research.

How Blockchain will Reengineer the Media Value Chain in the Covid and Post-Covid World? - Rajesh Dhuddu, Tech Mahindra
Since 2018-19, the Media & Entertainment industry has been undergoing a shift with increasing number of viewers migrating from the ‘linear’ broadcast services to Over-The-Top (OTT) services. Further, the demand and consumption of content had been on an exponential rise. Viewers are demanding more content and to address this requirement, the media companies have started producing more titles on a regular basis making them prone to piracy, content infringement, IPR violations and royalty related disputes. The onset of the pandemic in 2020 further accentuated the trend towards OTT platforms as there was a global lockdown on theatrical distribution. In his talk, Rajesh will delve on the prevailing challenges in the media and entertainment industry and how blockchain can be the savior by protecting the media companies from reputational and monetary losses in today’s world.

The Right to be Forgotten Meets Blockchain: Native GDPR Compliance for Hyperledger Fabric - Yacov Manevich, IBM
Append-only structures such as blockchain, never forget their past. Once user data gets into a block, it stays there forever. The right to be forgotten seems to be in conflict with this nature, and at first glance, erasure of user data and blockchains, cannot coexist. We present how GDPR compliance can be easily and simply incorporated into Hyperledger Fabric in a native manner, which grants users with the right to be forgotten. Our design draws from Hyperledger Fabric's unique architecture, and modifies the block structure in a backward compatible manner, eliminating user data from the blockchain without sacrificing correctness or consistency . We evaluated our solution and found that it provides GDPR compliance with only a minimal performance overhead, making it a viable solution for Hyperledger Fabric or any other execute-order-validate type blockchain.

Verifiable Credentials and KYC - Returning Control Back to the Customer, a Loyalty Case Study - Mahesh Balan, Pravici LLC
In this presentation, Mahesh Balan, CEO of Pravici will present a unique approach to handling customer data in the context of a Loyalty program. Traditional loyalty applications and CRM systems store detailed PII data. What if we changed that paradigm and instead returned the full control of PII data to the member of the loyalty program ?. A member can then have full control of their PII data, in the form of a verifiable credential stored in an Identity Wallet in their loyalty app. At Pravici, we have built a loyalty application for consortiums based on Hyperledger Fabric which allows a set of companies to cooperate and run a common loyalty application. Inspired by Hyperledger Indy and Aries projects, we now have a novel approach to storing and using member PII data, minimizing risk for both the member and the loyalty consortium.

Trust Data Sharing and Utilization Infrastructure for Sensitive Data using Hyperledger Avalon - Koshi Ikegawa & Nao Nishijima, Hitachi, Ltd.
In the World Economic Forum 2019, Data Free Flow with Trust (DFFT) was advocated. Especially for some domains such as medical institutions and governments, where privacy protection is essential, it must handle sensitive data such as healthcare data and personal information. A distributed ledger technology makes it possible to share data among multiple organizations with trust. However, it is not suitable for sensitive data because the distributed ledger discloses stored data to all organizations. In this research, we solve the problem with an approach to store the sensitive data on external storage in a specific organization for each data to avoid sharing the data with all organizations.

Building and Measuring Valuable Ecosystems - Mark Cudden, we.trade innovation DAC
The way organisations acquires, perceives and derives value from software, platforms and services is changing. No longer are organisations entering into a bi-lateral agreement with a software, platform or service providers. They enter ecosystems. What are these ecosystems? What is the minimum viable ecosystem? How is value of the ecosystem measured? These metrics can be hard to define and get right when working in world of blockchain with new business networks, disrupting existing business models, unlocking new ways of working at times, side by side with competitors, or parties who do not trust one another. Value is perceived based on the strength, reputation and participation level of ecosystems members and from the products and services available to ecosystems members. These ecosystems are based on co-opetition and collaboration with like-minded businesses.

Integrated Supply Chain Ecosystems: Leading Industries Towards More Open & Trusted Data Sharing - Robin Pilling, Dis3bute - The Distributed Technology Company
With global supply chains becoming increasingly complex and interdependent across industries, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that most companies still struggle to understand supply chain processes as part of the entire industry value chain. Integrated supply chain ecosystems hence have a tremendous potential to create more transparent and resilient supply chain processes across a full network of value chain participants. However, industries still struggle with sharing data across multiple companies as a key driver of these ecosystems. Technology experts argue that blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) could help to solve the data sharing problem. The presentation discusses various industry use cases and provides reasoning for integrated supply chain ecosystems as nurturing ground for multi-party business application development on Hyperledger.

Covid Vaccine Beneficiary Identification using Verifiable Credentials - Punit Kumar & Hitarshi Buch, Wipro Technologies
COVID vaccination drives are being carried out across the globe. It is imperative to identify and segregate persons with the highest risk of infection so that the vaccine can be administered to them first. Therefore it is important that the individual's identity is established and their vaccine eligibility is determined in a secure and trust worthy way.

Punit & Hitarshi will be showcasing a solution that leverages the power of DID (Decentralized Identity) and Verifiable credentials, which helps in determining the vaccine beneficiaries by ensuring that the individual has the required authorization. This solution is built using Hyperledger Indy and Aries and comprises of the identity holder (beneficiary), identity issuer (nation health agency) and identity verifier (vaccine providers).

Documents are as Important as Codes - Yang Cheng, China Academy of Information and Communication Technology
Many developers think that code is the most important thing in developing a project, so their focus is to write beautiful codes with developer friendly comments, while ignore the user documents. In fact, the user documents are the first material when they touch a project. Only after in-depth use can they look at the code to understand the implementation principle. Therefore, the user documents determine whether your project will attract more users.

On the other hand, the internet has narrowed the global distance, but language is the biggest obstacle to our communication, so the internationalization of documents is becoming more and more important. Generally speaking, many project use English to write relevant documents, but 80% of the people in the world are not native English speakers, so having multilingual documents will attract more users for a project.

Panel: Self-Sovereign Identity for Economic Empowerment: Lessons from Africa - Anna Johnson, Trinsic; Thea Sommerseth Myhren, Diwala; Lohan Spies, DIDx; Fabian Portmann, Farmer Connect; Bryan Pon, Kiva
Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is a movement that claims digital identity should be just as legitimate and nuanced as a person’s human identity, while being accessible to all, privacy-preserving, and not reliant on a single government or corporation. The worldwide adoption of SSI has the potential to increase people's access to goods and services, including for disadvantaged individuals that do not have a government ID. Kiva, DIDx, and Farmer Connect are all using SSI backed by Hyperledger Aries/Indy to economically empower people in Africa. The panelists will specifically focus on the successes and obstacles that each of them have faced in helping to bring SSI to Africa. The speakers will share insights from each of their respective projects which are diverse in industry and use case.

Applying Low-code Development to Chaincode to Expedite Blockchain Adoption - Deepak Goel & Gourav Sarkar, Oracle
Low-code approach lets developers and business users build applications of increasing complexity faster than traditional coding. Based on declarative specification and using visual tools, low-code apps are quicker to create and easier to maintain. This session will discuss low-code approach for chaincode and how it smoothens Blockchain adoption by reducing complexities and time-to-market. Starting with a declarative spec of a Blockchain data model and behaviors, we'll use an IDE to walk through a complete chaincode life cycle from development, testing, debugging to deployment and illustrate how we handle the more complex aspects, e.g.: persistence, multi-level assets, rich queries. The demo uses Oracle’s Blockchain App Builder, released recently to rapidly develop, test and deploy chaincodes using a command line or visual IDE for chaincode generation, test, debugging and deployment.

Traversing the Web of Trust using Hyperledger Aries - Stephen Curran, Cloud Compass Computing Inc.
In early 2018, we wrote this explainer(1) on “traversing the web of trust”, a process that a verifier receiving a verifiable credential presentation uses to decide if they sufficiently “trust” the issuer of the credential to complete a transaction. The cryptography part of verifying the presentation is relatively easy, but deciding if the issuer can be trusted gets into the messy world of human trust. For example, how does an airline checking in passengers know if they can trust the presentation of a COVID-19 vaccination verifiable credential? We’ll go over the “web of trust” concept and survey the central and decentralized mechanisms that are in place now and are planned using Hyperledger Aries to help verifiers make trust decisions about the verifiable presentations they receive.

UTXO and Account Models: The Good, the Bad, and the Costly - Anthony Lusardi, Digital Asset
Let's take a look at UTXO and Account models, what they are, how they work, and how we're leveraging UTXOs with the smart contract language Daml to provide reliable, resilient, and cost-effective distributed applications. The first half of the talk will be a high level walkthrough of the UTXO and account-based models where anyone with an interest in blockchain-based applications can follow along. After that we'll dive into some more of the technical considerations and how crucial of a design choice these two options are. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of design considerations, why you might want to use UTXOs, and how to choose between the two.

The "iDeAL" POC; a Wing-to-wing Proof of Concept for an Inter-company Distributed Accounting Ledger - Gary Crisci, General Electric
As part of the effort to modernize GE's internal billing system, a proof-of-concept for a blockchain based decentralized ledger was built. The end result enables GE to transition its mission critical process from a legacy mainframe to a cloud-based instance of Hyperledger Fabric. In this session, Gary Crisci, Principal Architect at GE, will present the business requirements, and system architecture, that demonstrates how distributed ledger technology is an ideal solution for this use case. The presentation will highlight how data integration between multiple ERPs and Hyperledger Fabric is achieved through REST API endpoints, and how smart contracts codify the business rules that govern the entire process. There will also be a review of a chain-adjacent data warehouse solution that provides financial transaction provenance via rich data visualization dashboards.
