6 Dedicated Node Services

6.1 Overview

BSN dedicated node services apply BSN technologies including multi-layer framework adaptation, virtualized container, automated deployment and node gateway to provide users with "out-of-the-box" blockchain cloud services. Users can quickly create their own dedicated permissioned blockchain operating environment, configure node's CPU, memory, disk capacity and other parameters in the BSN portal; they can independently manage nodes, publish smart contracts, access node data and monitor blockchain operation status. The dedicated node does not restrict APIs of the framework, and all APIs can be called by developers after they access the dedicated node through the gateway.

Currently, dedicated node services allow users to build the permissioned chain services based on ConsenSys Quorum (an open source, free and enterprise-focused blockchain framework), Hyperledger Fabric, and Besu in the BSN public city node built on AWS cloud platform. The version of ConsenSys Quorum is v20.10.0, and its consensus mechanism supports Raft and IBFT mechanisms; the version of Hyperledger Fabric is v2.3.2, and its consensus mechanism is Raft; the version of Hyperledger Besu is v21.1.2, and its consensus mechanism is Clique and IBFT.
