Workshop Overview:

In this workshop, participants will delve into the realm of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) interoperation by exploring the implementation of the IETF Secure Asset Transfer Protocol (SATP) within Hyperledger Cacti. The workshop will provide a comprehensive understanding of the concepts, architecture, and practical implementation aspects involved in standardizing the transfer of digital assets between diverse blockchain networks.

Key Topics Covered:

1. Introduction to Hyperledger Cacti: Participants will gain insights into the functionality and architecture of Hyperledger Cacti, a platform facilitating digital asset transfers between different blockchain and DLT networks.
2. Overview of SATP: A detailed examination of the Secure Asset Transfer Protocol (SATP) developed under the auspices of the IETF. Participants will understand the significance of SATP in enabling seamless asset transfers between peer gateways across disparate networks.
3. Integration of SATP with Cacti: The workshop will focus on the implementation of the SATP draft specifications within the Hyperledger Cacti framework.
4. Demonstration of Asset Transfers: Practical demonstrations will showcase secure digital asset transfers using SATP within the Hyperledger Cacti environment. Participants will observe sample protocols in action and gain hands-on experience in executing cross-network asset transfers.

Workshop Objectives:

• Understand the challenges of blockchain/DLT interoperation and the role of standardized protocols in addressing them.
• Gain proficiency in using the SATP reference implementations within the Hyperledger Cacti ecosystem.
• Explore real-world use cases and scenarios for cross-network asset transfers facilitated by SATP.
• Contribute to the ongoing standardization efforts of SATP within the IETF framework through active participation and feedback.

Target Audience:

This workshop is designed for developers, blockchain enthusiasts, and enterprise stakeholders interested in enhancing their understanding of DLT interoperation and standardized asset transfer protocols. Prior knowledge of blockchain concepts and familiarity with Hyperledger Cacti will be beneficial but not mandatory.

Pre-requisites:

• Basic understanding of blockchain and distributed ledger technology.
• Familiarity with basic computer programming principles.
• Access to a development environment with 
• Docker or other container engine installed
• At least 16 GB of RAM installed
• Proficiency in using command-line interfaces for executing setup and testing instructions.

Join us for an immersive journey into the world of blockchain interoperability and learn how Hyperledger Cacti, coupled with the SATP standard, is shaping the future of digital asset transfers across diverse networks.

Workshop Leaders:
