Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing a distributed ledger as a blockchain cloud service are provided. The blockchain cloud service can include nodes of the distributed ledger and a REST proxy service component. The REST proxy service uses a service development kit for the distributed ledger to communicate with the distributed ledger, and can provide REST APIs for use by client applications to query through chaincodes, synchronously or asynchronously invoke transactions through the chaincodes, get transaction statuses, and get BCS proxy versions. The REST proxy service component can authenticate REST calls, and translate the REST calls into remote procedural calls, for use in interfacing with the distributed ledger. The REST proxy service component can further provide REST APIs that support the same functions which are provided by the BCS management console component, and provide a user interface for client applications to consume the BCS instance.
