 Let me first introduce myself. My name is Eugene Asif. I'm a founder and CTO of a company called Chainstack. We are building a managed blockchain services platform. Today, I will be mostly talking about Hyperledger Fabric Managed Services that we've built for the last couple of years, and we'll show a live demo of it as well. First, I will start and describe our company a little bit, and we'll talk about what is basically the best managed blockchain services you can think of to date. I will then show a demo. We'll talk about a few interesting enterprise-focused features that we have, and then we'll have a Q&A session, of course. Chainstack is a company that was established in 2018, so we're quite for some time in this market already. We've been mentioned a couple of years in a row in Gartner Reports for managed blockchain services. We have a bunch of interesting technologies built in-house with a few patents pending for them, and we have around 20 people currently building the platform and doing the services that I will be talking about today. Among our customers for enterprise blockchains, companies like Deloitte, PwC, Fujitsu, other startups that also build solutions on top of different blockchains. We have a very broad partner ecosystem. We work with software development companies as well who help us to not only build infrastructure, but also to deliver the entire solution for our customers, including development of smart contracts, in case of fabric is chain codes, building web applications and so on. So we understand the need of the ecosystem, and we try to deliver the best solutions possible, including a full stack approach for building the blockchain applications. So what's so special about our platform? There are a few things. First is that you can really start building with Chainstack quickly. So in a few clicks, you can have a fully production-grade network with some fabric or any other protocols that we support, such as Quora, Quorum, Ethereum as well, as a bunch of public blockchain protocols. So we are also operating as a bridge between traditional businesses, enterprises and the Web3 world. So that's a unique way of proposition as well. Another important thing that we see the need for, especially in enterprises, is that we can deploy node networks for all these protocols in a completely agnostic fashion across different hosting providers so we can support your on-prem infrastructure, and we support all top cloud providers as well, so you can always choose where to deploy your blockchain nodes and networks. We also support private hosting so that you can choose, like, okay, I want to deploy in my own Azure subscription, but I don't want it to be in Chainstack's cloud, and that is certainly possible with us. So we try to be operating across all different hosting options and not only cloud but also on-premises as we've seen a lot of demand for on-premises deployments as well. And what's most importantly, you can manage all your projects, all your networks throughout a single console, so you don't need to go to different solutions for different networks, whether it's development, production networks, or you just want to experiment with different protocols. That's something that we provide out of the box. So once you're on board to Chainstack, you can use different protocols out of the box, you can experiment with them. Fabric has been our flagship protocol, so we've got a lot of projects built since we released support for Fabric, which was around one year ago. We started with Fabric version two already, so that's why we attracted a lot of interest in the community for our managed services. And because the rest of the providers at the time just supported version one, so we were basically the first provider who supported Fabric version two, and that's something that we continue doing today by supporting the newest features of high-plash fabric and providing the best experience possible. So of course, as I briefly mentioned, the entire blockchain-based solution doesn't end with infrastructure, so that's why we provide other layers that are required for the blockchain solution to be successful, such as governance and application level. So apart from the network and all the orchestration that we provide out of the box across all the clouds and protocols, we also have a consortium membership management built in. So let's say you have a project, you can invite as many members as you want in this project, they can collaborate on a project. In any project, you can have multiple networks that they would work on. Let's say you can have development staging, production networks, all the same project, all shared within the same group of participants. For governance, we also provide identity management so that you can basically issue new identities for new members, you can revoke them. So all the necessary functions for this are also included into the platform. And what's important to deliver the end value is applications here. So we have marketplace with the different tools, templates and services that are useful for any application development on any blockchain protocol. You can take a look at what we provide in our marketplace. We have quite extensive variety of different solutions that can be used to enhance the first two layers that I mentioned. What's also important across all these layers, we have an API so that let's say you want to include deployment of your network in your, let's say CI CD pipeline, that would be definitely possible. We provide all the functions that are here, they are an easy to use, easy to comprehend API. So you can do all these things through the UI that I will show later, but you can also use the API for programmatic access to all these functions. I spoke a little bit about different hosting options. So this is a bit of elaboration on that. So we have a few modes of operation of our platform with regards to the platform itself like the control panel plus the blockchain workloads themselves. So one of the easiest option and that you can basically kickstart in five minutes is cloud. So basically we manage the control panel and we also manage the node infrastructure. Basically it's completely managed solution. Customers or partners, they don't need to worry about anything. They just basically use the nodes and the API is provided by the nodes and other functions of the platform. All the maintenance, all the upgrades, all the installations of different components are automated. So basically you don't need to do anything. In hybrid scenario, that was one of the most popular scenario for us is when basically the control panel is managed by us and then the enterprise selects to run their own infrastructure for nodes. And then we basically manage the nodes in their own infrastructure. And most of the things are automated because we are agnostic in terms of hosting options. But some of the things we assist to do, let's say we tend to set up the custom monitoring solutions in customer's infrastructure, logging solutions and this kind of utility are basically installed on demand based on the customer requests. And the other part of the scale is self hosted solution is whenever a partner or a customer needs full control. So we can provide you and we can install a control panel on your own premises including the blockchain clusters that you can use to deploy your own nodes or everything will be entirely on premises. So we will just ship you the software and provide you the services so that everything works as expected. So here's a quick demonstration of how it generally look like. So this is an example of hybrid deployment. So we host the, let's say the core of the platform, the control panel and then the nodes, the networks and all the blockchain components are hosted across clouds and on-premises clusters. What's also cool, you can do cross cloud and cross hosting and deployment as well. So let's say one of the nodes are running in AWS, the second node is running in Google Cloud and then the third node can be running in the on-premises cluster. So thanks to the automation that we've developed you can do all these scenarios seamlessly. Another example is when a customer or a partner demands self-hosted deployment. In this case, everything is hosted by the customer. Again, you can choose when you deploy and where you deploy all the components. So you can have multiple clusters deployed in different locations and you can have a dedicated facility for the control panel to host it as a standalone component. So on the governance tier, what's interesting that you can onboard your members in your consortium or in your project in a few clicks, you can invite them via email. You can also use our team features. You can invite different users from your organization into your account so that they can collaborate with you on these projects, of course. And last but not least, as I mentioned, you can streamline identity management and lifecycle of different identities within the network or across all your projects within the single control panel, which allows you to do very interesting things. So for instance, you want to collaborate between different organizations. You are not yet sure which protocols you want to use for instance or how you want to organize your network and our platform allows you to experiment with all that and you can use different protocols for different purposes and then you can choose one and then you can move into a production with the same setup without need to change anything. Application tier, again, as I mentioned, we have a bunch of solutions in our marketplace which add value as monitoring solutions or off chain storage solutions. So I encourage you to browse through our marketplace to check out what other options we provide on top of our core platform. So now about our Hyperledge Fabric support. As of today, we support Hyperledge Fabric version 2.2 as we have this capability to automate all the deployments and do cross-cloud, cross-hosting deployments. It's done thanks to Kubernetes technology that we use underneath. We also simplified onboarding for all the new members of your consortium by joining all the members by default in the initial channel so that they can try out the communication between the peers, between the nodes immediately. We also deploy service nodes by default. So we include a raft order for each network and you can add more orders if you want. And we also deploy an instance of Hyperledge Explorer which is an official Hyperledge Fabric Explorer pair member organization. So each member has a demo explorer which is private to them and they can see what's going on the network from their perspective. So on the right side, you can see how a platform looks like and I would like to show it to you right now. So since we have not so much time, I will just show you a very basic demo on how a platform looks like, how you can deploy nodes and networks here. So for the sake of this event, I created a project called Next Generation Credentials platform to collaborate on education and training data between different members. As you see here, I have a lot of other projects and as I mentioned, we support both consortium blockchains and public blockchains. So you can again, manage all your portfolio of different blockchain projects in the same interface. But today we want to focus on the consortium ones. So for this, I created a network just now which is called Dev Network which is based on Hyperledge Fabric. We have one node from my organization which I call University node and then there are a couple of service nodes. As I mentioned, we have Explorer here, we have order. We can click through and see all the details about the version, about who created this node, like what's the hosting like, where we host the nodes and how do you access this ordering service, for instance. You can also see all the details of the network. So you can see the channel ID and you can see the organization names, MSPs. You can see the identity issues. Here for the sake of simplicity, I used Cryptogen which is one of the options that is spotted on the platform alongside with Fabric CA. You can also click through and see your identity. For instance, and then you can export this identity. What's important, we provide a very open platform so that let's say if you want to add more nodes from on-premises, which do not have to run on Chainstack, you can export all the data that you need to do this. So let's say you can export your admin identity or you can export a connection profile. You can plug in your favorite tools like IBM blockchain extension for VS Code which is excellent tool to build high-pledge fabric applications that we personally like a lot and we use a lot in our projects. We are fully compliant with this extension so we have a section in our documentation how to plug in the extension to our platform as well. We can always deploy other nodes as well. If we go to the project itself, we can see this button called members. We can click the members and we have a couple of them here. We can invite more members just by providing the email address. So the person on this email address will receive an invitation, will have to create account if they don't have one and then they will be able to join the same project and collaborate within the networks in this project. So I will just show you how simple it is to deploy new nodes. So basically in addition to my university node, I want to add another node which is called, let's say, Ministry of Education. I just specify the node name. I use the same cryptogen identity share that I can also click through and read more details about because I'm deploying a node from the same organization. I can use different hosting options. So as I mentioned, we support private hosting options which are facilitated by integrations. So as for today, we support Amazon as a private hosting option. So you can plug in as a self-service your own Amazon account into the platform and then deploy the nodes in your account. But for the sake of the demo, I will use our Chainstack Managing Infrastructure. I will use some other cloud provider in some other region rather than I used for the first node which was AWS US. So let's say I want to use Microsoft Azure in London and that's what I will choose for the deployment. The node will be pending for a few minutes and then it will go live. It will join the channels. It will be configured correctly so that it's fully operational without any intervention from the user. As I mentioned, we also provide Explorer out of the box. So this is Explorer for my organization. I can see all the nodes, all the transactions, all the chain codes, all the features basically provided by Hyperledge Explorer I can see here. As for the node details, basically I can go inside the node. You can see all the docs here that we provide helpers for. So like how to connect to your node, how to build chain code. We provide a bunch of tutorials which are end-to-end, starting from how to deploy your nodes and then how to build your web application as well. And then basically you can connect to your node via these credentials. You can export the peer details so that you can connect it to it through the SDKs like Node.js SDK for instance. We also provide node logs out of the box as well. So you can also see like not only peer logs but also your chain code logs as well because you can choose between like peer and chain code server containers. So this is pretty much what I wanted to show. I will be happy to elaborate on any questions that you might have about the platform offline or in the QA session as well. So I'd like to spend a few minutes about our enterprise solutions. So we basically out of the box, we provide answers to the challenges that are exposed to modern companies like security, data privacy, identity management operations. Some of them I also explained. In terms of security, we follow all the security practices because our team, we have a lot of experience in security prior to working on a chain stack platform. So everything that we do is according to these practices. So we encrypt all the storage of course so that nobody can access it. We apply, we have backups and disaster recovery policies for all the nodes that are running on a chain stack enterprise. We have audit trails for all the activities. We provide customers also access to this audit trail. So if you go to events in a console, you will see all the actions that were done in the platform. We obviously do like vulnerability assessment, touch management and all the communications that we basically provide from node to node from node to customer all the time encrypted. So we use TLS for all of them. We also support the factor authentication in the platform of course, and we enforce it for all our employees as well. So I briefly talked about the vault, the identity management solution that we have. So again, there is a very strong encryption applied there thanks to all the cloud providers that we use. We also use a solution called HashiCorp Vault that's quite well known in the ecosystem for even for blockchain because HashiCorp is very friendly towards blockchain communities and they support a lot of algorithms and primitives that are used in blockchain protocols. We also support external key management solutions and hardware-based solutions for key storage on our Chainstack Enterprise plan. As for privacy, we have zero data touch points with on-premises deployments or private hosting deployments. So everything is stored in the customer premises. All the data, so we have no visibility into the ledger data, we don't have access to it. We use least privilege best practices as well for all deployments. So we try not to access things that we don't need to access. And as we use containerized applications, 100% each nodes and also any other applications are isolated from each other, including the runtime and data. So they cannot interact with each other, they cannot like corrupt each other. As for operations, I showed them a couple of things here like I showed node logs that you can access yourself. There's also activity log that I mentioned that you can go through yourself on the platform. We also maintain a quite advanced monitoring dashboards for ourselves and we build them on demand for the customers who are running in hybrid or on-premises fashion. So we ensure that all the operations are monitored and alerted whenever possible and whenever is needed. Last but not least, we also provide professional services to facilitate custom requests from our customers and partners that appear from time to time, not only related to infrastructure but also to different automation related to their own processes. Let's say to the application building pipeline or to the application development itself. So this is also a feature of Chinstag Enterprise Plan. We have quite a number of enterprise customers who use the services to basically customize our solution and build things on top of our solution with the help of the professional system. So I think that's all for today from me. Really happy to have you on board to try out what we've built. We have currently 14 days free trial for all consortium services. So, which means that you can run a complete high-clutch fabric network completely for free for two weeks and you can try it out and you can see whether it's a good fit for your organization. You can check out our docs and tutorials on our documentation site and you can generally learn more on our website for Chinstag.com. That's all from me and I think we have around five minutes for questions. I see we have this nice Q&A button. So if you ask questions I will be very happy to address them. All right, I think we have a first question from Adam. Do you have plans to integrate managed services for IPFS or similar blob storage? Great question. So we are currently looking into IPFS in particular because it's the most popular decentralized storage solution that is used in many different applications. So if you are interested you can go to our marketplace and just click get started. We have IPFS listed there. So as soon as we have it's online and we have it in a better mode we'll be happy to provide you early access. But storage solutions are definitely ones that are on our radar because we understand the needs of not just storing state which is usually quite minimal but also storing objects and data that doesn't necessarily need to be on the blockchain but can be on some storage solution. But since we're using blockchain which is distributed we want to use distributed storage. So that's why we are keen to support solutions like IPFS for storage. So feel free to reach out to us from marketplace and we'll register your interest and we'll be happy to provide you early access. Any other questions here? We have quite a lot of people on the talk including blockchain engineers. So we'll be happy to hear from you guys what you think and how we can help to get rid of headache of managing all this infrastructure by yourself because that's our mission. We've seen a lot of people having a lot of troubles setting up their own even development network. So that's why we want to help everyone to access this new wish technological blockchain so that you can start building right away. So we try to provide as much information and as much automation that we can for you to start building. Also worth mentioning that our pricing is very affordable. So we don't have any hidden costs. So whatever you see on your pricing on the pricing page of our website is what you get. So there are no costs for running Kubernetes cluster or having additional storage, et cetera. So that's something that we're also very proud of that the pricing is very affordable for all developers to start building on Chainstack. So we'll be very happy to see you on board and trying the platform. Since there are no more questions I think we're good and done. If anything, please feel free to reach out to me at ea.chainstack.com or just use a contact form on our website. We also have Discord, Telegram, you name it channels for interaction. See you there. Thanks everyone.
