Challenge

The platform lacked the technical expertise required to code, host a network, and develop an architectural roadmap for a reliable art provenance verification system.

Solution

Blockchain Deployment

Toptal delivered a production-grade Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network, hosted on self-provisioned Kubernetes clusters over AWS EC2. The setup included CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions, enabling automated deployment, chaincode life-cycle validation, and seamless upgrades.

Engineering Roadmap

Toptal created a detailed engineering roadmap, planning tasks per sprint with weekly sync-ups using tools like Notion, Miro, and Slack.

Outcome

Verified Provenance

The blockchain solution provided a secure, transparent method for verifying the provenance of artwork. The curator could now onboard clients as digital curators, enhancing trust and authenticity in the art world.

Streamlined Management

With the CI/CD pipeline in place, curators could easily update and deploy smart contracts, allowing them to interface with the permissioned blockchain network without needing to manage the underlying infrastructure.
