Abstract

A network device receives a first application programming interface (API) call from an application. The first API call requests a micro-service of a blockchain-based technology. The blockchain-based technology includes use of a shared ledger among participating nodes in a distributed consensus network. The micro-service provides a function for the application. The network device sends, in response to the first API call, a second API call to one of the participating nodes. The second API call initiates a framework module of a multiple of framework modules in the participating nodes. The network device receives, from the one of the participating nodes, a response to the second API call, the response indicating consensus of the participating nodes. The network device generates, based on the response to the second API call, a reply to the first API call.
