Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for implementing a blockchain-based workflow. One of the methods includes receiving a workflow specification that indicates one or more state transition methods to be performed by a smart contract on a blockchain network and one or more client service methods to be performed by one or more client devices off the blockchain network participating in a workflow. The smart contract is generated according to the workflow specification and includes the one or more state transition methods. A configurable client service logic is generated according to the workflow specification for each of the one or more client devices and includes the one or more client service methods. The smart contract is deployed to the blockchain network.
