### ⚙️ **edeXa Network Overview**

The edeXa blockchain infrastructure has been fine-tuned to meet the demands of developers, validators, and businesses alike. With our **multi-layered approach**, we support public, private, and hybrid use cases — each environment fine-tuned to support reliability, speed, and compliance.

***

#### 🧠 **Consensus Mechanism: QBFT at Its Core**

edeXa leverages **Quorum Byzantine Fault Tolerance (QBFT)**, a battle-tested consensus protocol from **Hyperledger Besu**, optimized for permissioned environments and business logic.

* ✅ **Instant Finality** – Blocks are final once committed. No waiting, no forks.
* 🔐 **Byzantine Fault Resilience** – Tolerates malicious nodes and ensures network trust.
* 🌱 **Energy-Efficient** – A green alternative, without compromising on speed or integrity.
* 🏢 **Enterprise-Ready** – Designed for use in B2B scenarios, compliant and configurable.

### Background: Private Networks

In **edeXa PrivateNET***channels* act like private sub-networks where organizations can transact and interact via *chaincodes* (smart contracts) in isolation. Each channel maintains its **own independent blockchain**, which means multiple channels can co-exist without interfering with each other.

While this model promotes privacy and scalability, it comes with a potential risk:

> If someone gains control over multiple organizations in a channel, they might manipulate past data unnoticed.

***

### 🔐 The Role of the Master Channel

To solve this, **edeXa introduces the Master Channel**, a meta-layer that strengthens the auditability and tamper-resistance of all channels.

#### 🧩 How It Works:

1. A trusted system scans each Fabric channel at fixed intervals.
2. For every channel, it retrieves:

   ```json
   jsonCopyEdit{
     "channelName": "",
     "currentBlockHash": "",
     "currentBlockNumber": ""
   }
   ```
3. This data is bundled and stored in the **Master Channel**—a dedicated smart contract running on the **edeXa public blockchain**.
4. The public nature of this contract ensures:
   * **Transparency**
   * **Immutability**
   * **Cross-verification** with the original permissioned channels

This structure guarantees that even private Fabric data now has a public integrity layer, verifiable by external auditors or internal compliance tools.

***

#### 🧱 Contract Basics

* **Name:** `MasterChannelLedger`
* **Inherits:** `Ownable` (only the contract owner can push updates)

#### 📦 Data Model

```solidity
solidityCopyEditstruct MasterChannelRecord {
    string data;
    uint256 timestamp;
}
```

* `data`: Aggregated string (channel name, hash, block number)
* `timestamp`: Time of the record entry

#### 🗃️ State Variables

* `ledger[]`: Stores all records sequentially
* `MasterChannelDataToRecord`: Maps data strings to their timestamps for quick lookup

#### ⚙️ Key Functions

* **addMasterChannelRecord(data)**
  * Only callable by the owner (edeXa)
  * Adds a new record if it doesn’t already exist
  * Updates both the ledger and the mapping
* **getAllData()**
  * Returns an array of all stored data entries and timestamps
  * Useful for auditors or syncing systems
* **getTimestampForData(data)**
  * Returns the timestamp for a specific data entry
  * Reverts if the data isn't found

***

### 📌 Summary

The Master Channel duo ledger is a smart innovation that links private blockchain activity to a public audit trail—**without exposing sensitive internal data**. It’s a core part of how edeXa ensures long-term transparency, accountability, and trustworthiness in its B2B blockchain ecosystem.

For devs integrating or querying the Master Channel, you now have a secure, verifiable, and easy-to-use contract to work with.
