Note: Blockchain architecture discussed here is a sample architecture, you can use similar types of architecture for your use cases. There is no standard definition of architecture, we can define it as per the services we require for our solution.

This quiz will test your knowledge on Blockchain architecture.

The first step in defining our solution is to identify the Use Case. Blockchain is not a silver bullet and we cannot consider it to be a solution to all the problems. We need to identify a suitable Use Case, where Blockchain could be cost-effective and productive.

The next step in forming a Blockchain solution is to design the integration strategy with the existing architecture and applications. The new solution should seamlessly integrate and not break our present ecosystem.

After designing Integration strategies, we go into identifying the appropriate consensus mechanism to be used with our Use Case. There is no single consensus mechanism which could fit in with all the problems. We need to identify which consensus mechanism suits the best for our needs.

After Identifying the consensus mechanism, we go into identifying the platform. There are multiple platforms available in the market which provides different feature set. We need to choose the most suitable platform for our Use Case.

The next step is to design the architecture for our solution. As mentioned in the course, there is no concrete definition for Blockchain architecture. You need to define the services as required. You also need to understand whether you require public, private or hybrid solution.

The next step is to design your Blockchain instance. This is one of the most important steps for defining your Blockchain solution. In this step, you define all the parameters required for your Blockchain which will be followed throughout the lifetime of the Blockchain.

Now we will go into building the Application Programming Interface. You need to take notice about which functions you want to expose to developers and users. Developers can use your APIs inside their applications to interact with your Blockchain.

Finally, we go into building our applications, which will be used by the users to interact with the Blockchain. Users cannot work with command line interface and require a good UX application to perform operations over the Blockchain. We will also define future prospects and opportunities for Blockchain solutions.

This quiz will test your knowledge on defining your Blockchain solutions.
