Product Description Brief explanation of the product
Product Categories Select relevant categories

Step 2: Highlights

Add key selling points of your product.

Each highlight includes:

  • Highlight Title
  • Highlight Icon (selectable)
  • Highlight Description

Tip

Use 3–5 highlights to effectively communicate your product’s strengths.

Step 3: Benefits

Explain how your product helps users and solves problems.

Each benefit includes:

  • Benefit Title
  • Benefit Icon (selectable)
  • Benefit Description

Note

Benefits should focus on value delivered, not features.

Step 4: Features

List what users get when they use your product.

Each feature includes:

  • Feature Title
  • Feature Icon
  • Feature Description

Step 5: Pricing Plans

Create one or more pricing plans.

Field Description
Plan Name Name of the plan
Plan Price Cost of the plan
Plan Description Plan summary
Included Features Select features covered
Duration Options Choose Monthly or Annually

Tip

Offer multiple plans to cater to different user needs.

Step 6: Review

  • Review all information carefully.
  • Ensure accuracy before submitting the product.

Step 4: Submit the Product

Once submitted, you will be redirected to the product’s page displaying all information.

Pre-Publication Requirements

Before your product can be published, ensure the following items are completed.

Upload Product Manifest

Required for Publication

A valid product blueprint must be uploaded before the product can go live.

  • Upload a Kubernetes YAML file
  • Defines how the product deploys on the platform

What to Include in the Blueprint

Your YAML file should define:

  • Deployments – application and database workloads
  • Services – internal/external access points
  • PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) – data storage
  • ConfigMaps & Secrets – configuration and credentials
  • Network Policies – restrict traffic where needed

Example (High-Level Structure)

A typical blueprint may include:

  • Database deployment (e.g., PostgreSQL)
  • Application deployment
  • Services
  • Storage definitions

Note

The platform accepts standard Kubernetes YAML syntax. Advanced Kubernetes expertise is not required, but the file must be valid and deployable.

Important Guidelines

  • Ensure all referenced images, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PVCs are valid.
  • Use supported Kubernetes API versions.
  • Avoid hard-coded credentials — always use Secrets.
  • Test your blueprint in a local or test cluster before uploading.

Tip

Once uploaded, the platform will automatically deploy your product when users subscribe and create projects.

Configuring Multiple Ports in the Blueprint

If your blueprint includes more than one port, each port must be manually configured in the Additional Port Routing section.

For every port, you must provide:

  1. Service Name
  2. URL Slug
  3. Port Number

Undeclared Ports Will Not Be Created

Only ports that you configure in the system will be registered.
Any port defined in the blueprint but not entered in the Additional Port Routing section will not be created or exposed.

Ensure all required ports are accurately configured before finalizing the product setup.

Supported Blockchain

Navigate to the Supported Blockchain page and click Add Blockchain. Fill in all required fields to create a deployment configuration.

Quick Overview

You will select a blockchain, name the deployment, upload your smart contract, configure its metadata, define invocation JSON, and choose a deployment policy.

1. Select Blockchain

Choose the blockchain platform:

  • Hyperledger Fabric
  • Zetrix
When to choose which?
  • Hyperledger Fabric: permissioned, modular architecture, enterprise governance.
  • Zetrix: public/permissioned interoperability scenarios.

2. Deployment Name

Provide a unique name for this deployment configuration.

Example

  • fabric-prod-supplychain-v1
  • zetrix-staging-loyalty-v2

3. Smart Contract Upload

Upload the smart contract file for your product.

Note

Ensure the artifact matches the programming language and contract type provided below.

4. Contract Configuration

Provide details:

  • Version – e.g., 1.0.3
  • Contract Type – e.g., chaincode, solidity
  • Programming Language – e.g., Go, Node.js/TypeScript, Solidity
  • Call Format – e.g., function call + arguments specification, ABI-based call, etc.
Example configuration 
version: 1.0.3
contract_type: chaincode
language: go
call_format: "function + args"

5. Invocation Specification (JSON)

Enter the invocation specification in JSON describing how the contract is invoked.

Publish Product

  • After completing all requirements, click Go Live.
  • review your product carefully before click Publish Product.
  • Your product becomes publicly available in the marketplace.
