Project Title	Utilizing Hyperledger Fabric to Develop Maritime Supply Chain Application using MQTT protocol.
Status	PENDING TSC REVIEW
Difficulty	MEDIUM

Description

Utilize Hyperledger Fabric framework to develop Container shipment tracking application using Blockchain consensus algorithms and incorporate them into MQTT Protocol and Implement cross-chain Deployment.

This application tracks shipment using the MQTT protocol. From shipment origin to handling at docks via constantly monitoring package until it reaches the final destination along with providing an in-depth verified report and Reduces Tracking error. MQTT protocols which would help to perform data abstraction from the edge telemetry data, parse that data into the Blockchain transaction format, validate the transactions and then write them to the Blockchain This not only serves the same purpose as the MQTT broker in the traditional sense but would also provide a method to trace and store historical data simultaneously, all within a distributed network

Add the existing Hyperledger Sawtooth Supply Chain application (https://github.com/hyperledger/sawtooth-supply-chain) to Hyperledger Fabric. Working on Different Techniques to Reduce Data Complexity. Contribute this source code to Hyperledger Fabric’s sample repository (https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples).

Write up a detailed comparative analysis with the existing technology after implementing smart contracts In addition, document the steps required to convert a running application in Hyperledger Sawtooth to Hyperledger Fabric and vice versa. Time permitting develop a tool that will convert chaincode to transaction families and vice versa.
