Blockchain as a Service: Building Blocks of Blockchain
summary
Claims that blockchain provides Byzantine-fault tolerance and immutable, auditable state by storing transactions in Merkle-tree blocks secured with nonce-based proof of work. Demonstrates a Dell EMC POC called Ethereum as a Service integrated with Cloud Foundry via the CF Service Broker API, running boot nodes as a BOSH release, and exposing contracts to browsers (MetaMask) so apps can monetize via transaction fees. POC is functional but still being hardened for public-chain connectivity; chains grow tens of gigabytes, so storage and node placement matter.
