Decentralization using Blockchain as a Service

Abstract

Abstract: Due to its immutability, traceability, anonymity, and transparency as a decentralised distributed ledger, blockchain has seen significant development in cryptocurrencies and production as a new trend. The emergence of Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) in the interim aids in the mitigation of the Blockchain system complexity and management challenges make it simpler for developers to concentrate on implementing business logic. However, the majority of current BaaS solutions are hosted by cloud providers, increasing the risk of vendor lock-in and undermining blockchain's intrinsic trustlessness. Although current BaaS systems use edge computing or the cloud as their infrastructure, their availability is constrained by the availability of network connections and the data centre itself. Most developers or teams find it challenging and expensive to create, maintain, and watch over a blockchain network that supports their apps due to the intricacy of blockchain technology. The majority of regular developers or teams are unable to guarantee the dependability and security of the blockchain system, which in part lowers the calibre of their programmes. The BaaS platform we create in this study,BaaS, offers blockchain services across cloud computing environments, including network deployment and system monitoring, smart contract analysis, and testing. Based on these services, developers don't have to worry about maintaining and monitoring the system and can instead concentrate on the business code to investigate how to apply blockchain technology to their business scenarios more effectively.
