Blockchain-Enabled Car Market in Algeria: A Hyperledger Fabric Architecture

The car market is a complex system. It involved a vast amount of information, from vehicle details and ownership history to maintenance records and market trends. Thus, it necessitates robust information technology systems for effective management. The car market is vulnerable to fraudulent activities such as odometer tampering, fake history reports, stolen vehicle sales, paperwork hassle, parts counterfeiting, and unclear ownership trails. In this paper, we propose a modular architecture for implementing Hyperledger Fabric in the car market of Algeria. The use of Blockchain technology on the Fabric Ledger platform will enable private tracking, monitoring, and control of car exchanges, which could potentially be utilized by authorities in managing Algeria's car markets. Our proposed architecture was implemented in the Hyperledger Fabric framework. Performance evaluation included measuring chaincode metrics (request duration, request reception, and completion), endorser metrics (successful proposal duration, proposal received, successful proposals), and ledger metrics (block processing and storage commit time, statedb commit time, Blockchain height).
