Fabric
Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned blockchain framework and enterprise blockchain platform designed for maintaining shared, immutable records of transactions across a network of authorized participants. It provides the infrastructure to build and manage private distributed ledgers that prioritize data confidentiality and scalability.
The platform is distinguished by a modular architecture and a pluggable consensus engine. This design allows internal system implementations to be swapped with custom modules to adapt the ledger's behavior and consensus mechanisms to specific technical or industry requirements.
The system covers high-level capabilities including distributed consensus implementation for sequencing messages, database-indexed block storage for persisting history, and permissioned access control to restrict data visibility. It utilizes container-based deployment to ensure consistent execution of network components across diverse environments.
Development is supported through tools for building project binaries, generating serialization artifacts, and provisioning standardized environments for testing and deployment.
