Hyperledger is an open-source initiative hosted by the Linux Foundation. It aims to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. Unlike public blockchains like Bitcoin, Hyperledger provides a set of frameworks and tools for developing private, permissioned blockchains. These blockchains are tailored for enterprise solutions. Hyperledger's modular architecture supports various consensus mechanisms and smart contracts. It offers projects like Hyperledger Fabric for building scalable applications. Hyperledger is widely used in industries such as finance, healthcare, and supply chain management. The foundation encourages collaboration and innovation among businesses, developers, and academics to enhance blockchain technology and its applications.
