Hyperledger
Hyperledger is an enterprise blockchain ecosystem consisting of a collection of open-source frameworks and libraries. It provides the distributed ledger technology and modular architectures necessary to build permissioned blockchain applications for industrial use cases.
The project is characterized by a multi-framework ecosystem that separates consensus and membership services into interchangeable components. This modularity allows for the use of various agreement mechanisms, including crash-fault and Byzantine fault tolerant protocols, to maintain a synchronized and immutable record of transactions.
The ecosystem covers a range of capabilities including distributed ledger infrastructure, permissioned network governance, and identity management. These tools support specific industrial applications such as corporate asset tokenization and supply chain provenance.
Features
- Permissioned Blockchain Frameworks - Provides a comprehensive ecosystem of frameworks and libraries for building permissioned, industrial-grade distributed ledger applications.
- Distributed Smart Contract Frameworks - Provides a collection of diverse distributed ledger implementations with varying data models and smart contract execution environments.
- Distributed Ledger Databases - Implements storage systems that maintain a verifiable sequence of state transitions across a peer-to-peer network.
