Connect blockchain to Orchestrate

Use the Orchestrate Gateway API to register blockchain networks. Orchestrate is compatible with all Ethereum (EVM) based blockchain networks.

Each time you register a new network, Orchestrate automatically starts a transaction listener that processes transaction receipts mined on the blockchain network.

The Orchestrate Gateway API stores the following:

uuid: Orchestrate’s unique internal identifier
name: user given name of the chain
urls: list of JSON-RPC URLs of nodes in the chains
listener: Transaction Listener configuration (optional)
- fromBlock: block from which the Transaction Listener started processing transaction receipts (default latest)
- backoffDuration: time to wait before trying to fetch a new mined block (for example 1s or 1m, default is 1s)
- depth: block depth after which the Transaction Listener considers a block final and processes it (default 0)
- blockPosition: last block processed by the Transaction Listener.
- externalTxEnabled: whether to listen to external transactions, meaning not crafted by Orchestrate (default False)
privateTxManager: to be used for GoQuorum private transactions (optional)
- url: transaction manager endpoint
- type: Tessera

Tip

If using Besu private transactions, Orchestrate does not directly communicate with Orion so configuring the private transaction manager is not required.

Use the REST APIs to manipulate the chain. Use the uuid of the chain to update, amend, or delete the chain.
