Abstract

Blockchain technology can be used to solve the problems of data fraud, low transparency and difficulty in tracking in traditional seafood supply chains. However, if organizations in a supply chain adopt a heterogeneous blockchain which is unable to exchange data and complement each other's functions, there will be value islands. To solve this problem, this paper chooses BitXHub cross-chain solution based on relay mechanism, then designs and implements a cross-border seafood supply chain platform that supports the interoperation of mainstream blockchain Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum. Experimental results show that the system can process more than 937 transactions per second, which can meet the business requirements of actual scenes.
