Now that we've looked at Hyperledger's foundations in the open computing movement, as well as its benefits for industry, let's talk about the frameworks, tools, and building blocks of Hyperledger.
There are five blockchain frameworks, as follows:
- Hyperledger Iroha: Iroha, designed for mobile development projects, is based on Hyperledger Fabric and was contributed by Soramitsu, Hitachi, NTT Data, and Colu. It features modern, domain-driven C++ design as well as a new chain-based Byzantine fault tolerant consensus algorithm called Sumeragi.
- Hyperledger Sawtooth: Sawtooth was contributed by Intel and includes a novel consensus algorithm that Intel came up with that's called Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET). PoET aims to achieve distributed consensus as efficiently as possible. Hyperledger Sawtooth has potential in many areas, with support for both permissioned and permissionless deployments and recognition of diverse requirements...
