Abstract

Embark is an open-source Blockchain & Cloud Computing project. Framework for serverless Decentralized Applications using Ethereum, IPFS and other platforms. Embark is a framework that allows you to easily develop and deploy Decentralized Applications (DApps). It is built using JavaScript, Ethereum, Serverless. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building a Blockchain & Cloud Computing mini project or final-year project.

1. Introduction

Embark is a framework that allows you to easily develop and deploy Decentralized Applications (DApps).

Embark currently integrates with EVM blockchains (Ethereum), Decentralized Storages (IPFS), and Decentralized communication platforms (Whisper and Orbit). Swarm is supported for deployment.

A Decentralized Application is a serverless html5 application that uses one or more decentralized technologies.

2. Objective

Framework for serverless Decentralized Applications using Ethereum, IPFS and other platforms

This project demonstrates how JavaScript, Ethereum, Serverless can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

  • Add a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
  • Deploy to a public test network or cloud free tier
  • Add monitoring and cost alerts

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

  1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
  2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
  3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
  4. How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
  5. How would the solution scale to many more users?
