DCB Bank partners with Zeeve for Blockchain infrastructure

DCB Bank

DCB Bank Ltd. is a renowned private sector scheduled commercial bank regulated by the RBI.

With over 400 branches and 500 ATMs across the country, the DCB Bank's business segment stretches to Retail banking, Micro SME, SME, mid-Corporate, Agriculture, Government, Public Sector, Indian Banks, Co-operative Banks, and Non-Banking Finance Companies.

After the RBI passed a circular that required all ATMs to be operated for cash replenishment with digital OTC (One Time Combination) locks only, DCB Bank started looking for a solution to attain a secured system.

When the bank started looking for a transparent and trustworthy cash replenishment system, it found that blockchain technology is the best-suited solution that will digitize the OTP system.

Solutions

Zeeve’s solution to meet DCB Bank’s challenges

Zeeve’s Blockchain DevOps automation platform aided DCB Bank in designing a robust and optimized asset management architecture, along with an environment for its ATM and OTC lifecycle management.

This process included creating a local environment, setting up the on-premises infrastructure, deploying the Hyperledger Fabric network & nodes, and integrating GIT and Docker for efficient DevOps.

The Hyperledger Fabric 2.2 network is deployed using the Docker cluster on-premises.

After completing this deployment, the Zeeve platform empowered DCB Bank to chaincodes on the Fabric network. Chaincode has followed the asset state model for ATM and OTC management.
