Trading Derivatives

• What are derivatives?• Derivatives are securities linked to the other securities.• E.g. options, futures, and swaps.

• In case of an option• Option created when

• Client sells their Put/Call option andother client buys the available Put/Call option.

• Fee is called premium.• Transaction happen when

• The option is created.• Existing option is bought/sold/transferred.

• Exercising• At the maturity time• Premium < Payout = Profit

The new approach

7

Blockchain

• A chain of blocks.

• Blockchain is a framework.

• A block may contain code as a smart contract.

• Ideal smart contract examples• Car insurance activates only when driving.

• Money is transferred from A to B at 11:00 AM 15 July 2016 JST.

• The contract triggers automatically.• When a contract meets its true conditions.

Hyperledger

• A blockchain framework.

• Open standard/source.

• Customizable• Smart contract

• Namely, chaincode.

• Consensus plugins• Data payload

• Community driven.

• Written in Go.

• Heavily depends on the container technology.

9Ref: https://www.hyperledger.org

Container

• Docker is a kind of containerization platform.

• No guest OS.

• Only bin/lib/app.

• We all know : )

Ref: https://www.docker.com10

+ =

• Becomes a fully distributed blockchain framework.• Motivated by

• Our benefits• Simplified back office (BO).• Shareable BO between holder.• Less operating expenses (OPEX).• De-centralized database.• Contributing a common ledger.• Increasing transaction volume.

• Customer benefits• Lower fee

• Expected benefits• High availability• Disaster recovery

Our design

Use case

• Aims for derivative trading platform

• Trust model• Trusted nodes

• Know your customer (KYC) procedure (by law)

• Private network

• Permissioned blockchain

• Regulatory oversight

13

Consensus

• Hyperledger’s default consensus plugins:• Noops

• Trusts everyone.

• No integrity.

• PBFT• Trusts majorities

• Partially recoverable.

• What could be the optimal consensus algorithm for us?

14

Private

Public

Prototype

• Vanilla github.com/hyperledger/fabric • Two consensus plugins• No additional features

• Two simple chaincodes• Account management• Option trading

• Two type of nodes• Validator node – Validating the blocks.• Non-validator node – Providing the REST API service.

• Tested on the variety of architectures.

15

Account Option

Hyperledger control center - HyperCC

• Currently• We use our specific node controller script.• Namely, HyperCC

• Built with• Docker CLI• SSH• ENV variables

• Parameters (port, volume, etc.)• Programmable• On-the-fly

• Available functions• Start – To create the nodes.• Stop – To terminate the nodes.• Upgrade – To rolling upgrade the nodes.• SyncDB – To recovery broken chains (experiment).

Performance evaluation

21

Test protocol and configurations

• What we measure?• Throughput, CPU, memory, storage, latency , and discrepancy

• How we send the transactions?• REST API

• What kind of transaction?• Randomly transfer money between users.

• Docker configuration• v. 1.11• --storage-driver=overlay

• Node configurations• Single VM, multiple VMs, multiple physical servers• Node size: 1/2/4/5/6/10/15/20

Result summary

• Noops gives higher performance than PBFT.

• Higher throughput can be achieved with physical servers.

• Better to send transaction through a non-validator node.

Next challenges

28

Hyperledger side

1. Backup / Recovery2. Something in between Noops and PBFT consensus.

• Hybrid consensus?

3. Throttling rather than silent rejection.4. ROOT discovery node fail?5. Way to get transaction result on commit (transaction-specific event?).6. Deprecated HostConfig in Docker 1.12

• go-dockerclient still not support Docker 1.12.• Chaincode cannot be created.

7. Slow chaincode deployment.8. Container not recycles automatically.

29

Docker side

1. Image is quite big

2. Make Docker image smaller

3. Might need runC/containerd runC

30

3 things to takeaway

• Hyperledger + Docker provides a powerful blockchain framework.

• Way to deploy a new chaincode without creating a new image.

• Hybrid consensus, fast, adjustable level of trust.
