Project Plan - Demonstrate Interoperability using Hyperledger Bevel and Cactus

Abstract

Hyperledger Bevel is an automation framework for rapidly and consistently deploying production-ready DLT platforms. Hyperledger Cactus is a blockchain integration tool designed to allow users to securely integrate different blockchains. This task aims support Cactus deployment using Bevel to demonstrate production like usage of Hyperledger Cactus.
