Hyperledger is an open-source project and collaborative effort hosted by the Linux Foundation. It aims to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies and provide a platform for developing various blockchain-based solutions and applications.
Hyperledger provides a range of frameworks and tools that developers and organizations can use to create their own blockchain networks. These frameworks are designed to be modular and adaptable, allowing for customization to suit different business requirements. Some of the prominent Hyperledger frameworks include:
- Hyperledger Fabric: A versatile and modular blockchain framework that offers support for private and permissioned blockchain networks. It provides features like smart contracts and pluggable consensus algorithms.
- Hyperledger Sawtooth: A platform for building, deploying, and running distributed ledgers. It focuses on modularity and scalability, allowing for the implementation of custom consensus algorithms.
- Hyperledger Besu: An Ethereum-based framework for enterprise-grade blockchain applications. It supports both public Ethereum networks and private networks with permissioned access.
- Hyperledger Iroha: A framework designed for mobile and web applications that require a simple and intuitive interface. It aims to make blockchain technology more accessible to developers.
- Hyperledger Caliper: A blockchain performance benchmark tool that allows you to measure the performance of different blockchain networks.
Hyperledger aims to provide a collaborative environment for organizations and developers to work together on advancing blockchain technology.
