3 . validation and commitment of transactions.
The users, developers, and vendors from diverse industries are brought
together by Hyperledger, which serves as a “greenhouse” for them. All the
participants in Hyperledger blockchains, the likes of Indy, Burrow, Fabric for
enterprise application development, share a few common interests.
To build distributed ledger-based solutions is the intention of Hyperledger
Fabric, which is a blockchain platform. Adaptable in almost any industry
which is the result of developing solutions with Fabric, a modular application
architecture enables a high degree of confidentiality, flexibility, resiliency, and
scalability.
The most stable, permissioned, and general-purpose blockchain platform is
Hyperledger Fabric to develop enterprise solutions.
Fabric provides components like the method of consensus and membership
services to be plug-and-play hosting smart contracts called “chaincode” which
comprises the system’s business rules that use the container technology. Its
design supports various pluggable components that serve as an extensible
blockchain framework and accommodate the complexity existing across the
entire economy for deploying enterprise-grade distributed applications. The
various consensus mechanisms and customization are supported to deliver
different use cases and trust models.
To write Hyperledger based distributed applications in general-purpose
programming languages is enabled by the developers, and hence, the
dependency on any native cryptocurrency is eliminated. For running smart
contracts, coding is required in a domain-specific language, or else in other
blockchain platforms, a cryptocurrency is to be used. The way blockchain
platforms deal with non-determinism, resource exhaustion, and performance
attacks is enhanced by the architectural approach of Fabric.
Hyperledger framework
Enterprise blockchains that are different from public ledgers are built by the
Hyperledger business blockchain frameworks for a consortium of
organizations. An append-only distributed ledger, for agreeing to changes in
the ledger, a consensus algorithm, through permissioned access privacy of
transactions, to process transaction requests smart contracts are included in the
Hyperledger frameworks.
The following are the Hyperledger components framework:
