## Description

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.
