A Year of Careful, Prosaic BUIDLing
While other governments, such as Dubai and Holland, had launched blockchain initiatives, Xi’s declaration has now made this a matter of national competitiveness. This is a huge boost to the blockchain industry in China, everyone from Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba / Ant Financial and Huawei to a long list of startups. It also raised the concern that the China blockchain industry and technologies may diverge from those outside, whether because of US sanctions or China’s Great Firewall. Fortunately, we have not yet seen barriers emerge at Hyperledger; companies and developers in our community who hail from China are active, first-class participants in the community.

Is there a list of the cloud sync executables I need to add to “Application Monitoring” for these Chinese Cloud providers?
I do not need a solution (just sharing information)
Hi,
I want to have visibility into these specific personal cloud sync executables, if they exist for each service. I have found some for baidu and wechat, but having lots of trouble with many of these others.
Alibaba Cloud
KS Cloud
Ucloud
Tencent Cloud
Meituan Open Services
Qing Cloud
Huawei
Netease Cloud
Western Digital
E Cloud
Baidu
Weibo
For instance, when I got to download it on Alibaba’s website, I have to get a free trial, and in the end I an ineligible for their cloud storage services. I really just need the names of the executables, right? Is there a list of any of these anywhere? Google searching has not been very helpful.
thanks,
Chris

Alipay parent Ant Financial partners with Bayer for agricultural blockchain
Alipay operator Ant Financial has partnered with Bayer to sign a Letter of Intent to bring DLT traceability to food safety and agricultural supply chains.
Ant Financial also revealed that it is extending its partnership with Hyperledger, and the two will work on interoperability, standards, and blockchain applications. Ant’s blockchain as a service (BaaS) offering supports both its own Ant Blockchain and Hyperledger Fabric. The technology will now be brought to agriculture with German firm Bayer. Bayer is best known as a pharmaceutical company, but is also a big name in crops. It acquired US seeds and agrochemicals firm Monsanto in a $63 billion deal last year.
The company’s Crop Science division has a strong presence in China. It provides services to Chinese growers including advanced crop solutions, pesticides, environmental and safety training, digital farming technologies, and crop protection equipment.
Agribusiness is now one of over 40 applications of Ant’s blockchain technology. It has initiatives in supply chain finance, remittance, and rice traceability. Through Alipay, the company provides multiple blockchain services, mainly in health for online prescriptions and insurance.

“Today, with the advancement of technology, blockchain is capable of helping us build a brand new trust mechanism based on cryptographic algorithms. So, going from a platform based on trust to a trust system based on big data to cryptography-based trust is the reason why we see blockchain as a core technology for Ant Financial in the future.”

Details: Ant Financial announced today an extension of its partnership with Linux Foundation’s Hyperledger to develop cross-blockchain technologies.
- Ant Financial said it will continue to work with Hyperledger to explore how to connect and integrate different blockchain technologies and ecosystems. Specifically, the two will collaborate with other blockchain companies to develop processes and rules for cross-blockchain technologies.
- On Wednesday, Ant Financial signed a Letter of Intent with the agrochemical division of Bayer AG. The two companies will collaborate to create blockchain-based solutions designed to bring greater transparency to improve food safety and the efficiency of agricultural supply chains.

Alibaba launches global Enterprise BaaS. How big is the demand?
This week Alibaba Cloud released its Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) offering around the globe, including South East Asia, the US and Europe. The company is offering two solutions, one for Hyperledger Fabric and the other is the proprietary Ant Blockchain from affiliated company Ant Financial. But one question is: how big is the demand for enterprise BaaS?
Some might mistakenly dismiss Alibaba Cloud as primarily a Chinese vendor where it’s the leader for enterprise. In Gartner’s 2018 magic quadrant for worldwide cloud infrastructure (not just BaaS), just six companies qualified and Alibaba was one of them. Only Amazon AWS, Microsoft and Google made it into the leader quadrant, and even Google barely squeaked in. The other three Alibaba, Oracle and IBM appeared (in that order for “ability to execute”) in the niche player segment.
“Our customers in China have already experienced the benefits from our BaaS platform and we are excited to extend this service to other enterprise customers all over the world,” said Yi Li lead of Alibaba Cloud Blockchain Service.
The new Alibaba BaaS service offers Hyperledger Fabric 1.1 whereas the latest release is 1.3. However, many other cloud providers also don’t offer the most recent version.
Neither Azure nor AWS provides version information for Hyperledger Fabric when you browse for solutions. AWS launched its BaaS offering in April. For AWS during the creation process for a Hyperledger Fabric stack, you aren’t provided clear version options. It states that it’s the latest but elsewhere the license says April which means it’s version 1.1 at best.
BaaS demand?
How popular are enterprise BaaS services? The AWS blockchain templates are only available in three US datacenters. Given six months has passed since the launch, if there had been significant demand, you would expect more regional options. Plus looking at the AWS forums there were only 19 discussion threads, of which 18 related to Ethereum.
Many enterprise networks fall into two camps. One group involves a single centralized party setting up the network for everyone. In which case they have a skilled team and don’t necessarily need a BaaS solution. The other group is the early stage consortium without a specialist technology provider where BaaS should the easiest route, in theory.
And the vast majority of projects are still in the development phase where the code is sitting on a developer’s laptop.
