Capstone: Adapting OpenCBDC to Leverage Oracle Blockchain Tables
Team member in an Oracle-sponsored capstone project focused on enhancing the OpenCBDC project from MITs Digital Currency Initiative and the Boston Federal Reserve. Our goal was to adapt the OpenCBDC platform to leverage Oracle's Blockchain Tables and Autonomous Database technologies. Over the course of a year, our team conducted extensive research and development, successfully integrating Oracle's blockchain capabilities into OpenCBDC, a system designed for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). We utilized Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Oracle Database Sharding, and Blockchain Tables to enhance the scalability, auditability, and security of OpenCBDC.
In this project, I contributed to building a front-end application for users to interact with the system, allowing them to manage wallets, process transactions, and visualize key metrics such as total users and transaction volume. I also worked on the backend, which involved designing a schema with Blockchain Tables and integrating it with OpenCBDC's 2-phase commit architecture for transaction processing. This project provided hands-on experience with blockchain technology, database management, and the intricacies of CBDC platforms, offering a unique opportunity to work closely with Oracle's cutting-edge technologies.
