Features

ibet is a consortium blockchain built and operated mainly by BOOSTRY Co., Ltd..

1. Consortium blockchain

ibet is a consortium blockchain. It is built using Quorum, an OSS blockchain for enterprise. Currently, it is being developed only for the Japanese market.

ibet is a consortium blockchain made up of "companies". Each company in the consortium builds its own node (non-Validator node) and connects it to the network.

2. Two networks

There are two consortium networks, "ibet" and "ibet for Fin", in compliance with Japanese laws and regulations. Each of them constitutes its own blockchain network.

Each consortium has its own independent governance and operates according to its own terms of reference and guidelines.

  • ibet : A network in which any company can participate. Mainly non-financial rights (utility tokens) are distributed.
  • ibet for Fin : A network in which mainly only financial institutions can participate. Products that require the intermediation of licensed financial institutions in the secondary market are distributed.

About this repository

This repository manages the network definitions and Quorum node containers (Validator, General) defined by the ibet consortium.

Repository structure

The network definitions and node definitions for each network are stored in each of the following directories.

  • ibet-network : ibet main network
  • ibet-for-fin-network : ibet for Fin main network
  • test-network : ibet test network
  • local-network : local network
