What is Hyperledger Fabric?
The modular blockchain architecture and standard for enterprise-grade blockchain solutions. It is an open-source project from the Linux Foundation. It employs plug-and-play components to support a broad variety of use cases.
With over 120,000 participating companies and over 15,000 engineer contributors, Hyperledger Fabric provides a unique approach to a consensus that allows performance at scale while maintaining data privacy.
How does it work?
Hyperledger Fabric is a distributed ledger platform that is open, proven, and enterprise-grade.
It includes sophisticated privacy safeguards that ensure that only the data you want shared is shared with the network’s “permissioned” (known) members.
Benefits
• Permissioned network
Establish decentralized trust in a network of known participants.
• Confidentiality
Only expose the data you want to share with the people you want to share it with.
• Pluggable architecture
Rather than a one-size-fits-all strategy, tailor the blockchain to industry requirements using a pluggable design.
• Easy
Instead of learning new languages and architectures, program smart contracts in the languages your team already uses.
