01. overview
What is Hyperledger?
Let’s start with what Hyperledger is not: Not a company. Not a cryptocurrency. Not a blockchain. Not an IBM blockchain coin. Hyperledger is rather something like a hub for open industrial blockchain development. On its website Hyperledger explains:
“Hyperledger is an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. It is a global collaboration, hosted by The Linux Foundation, including leaders in finance, banking, Internet of Things, supply chains, manufacturing, and Technology.”

Why to Use Hyperledger?
Hyperledger is delivering a blockchain platform designed to allow the exchange of an asset or the state of an asset to be consented upon, maintained, and viewed by all parties in a permissioned group. A key characteristic of Hyperledger is that the asset is defined digitally, with all participants simply agreeing on its representation/characterization. As such, Hyperledger can support a broad range of asset types; ranging from the tangible (real estate and hardware) to the intangible (contracts and intellectual property).
Plethora Of Network Platform
A wide range of network platform namely Hyperledger Fabric, Burrow, Iroha and Sawtooth that will support enterprises to access ledger data, oversee transaction, and integrate applications to blockchains.
Scalability And Transparency
Hyperledger offers distributed ledger called Smart Contracts. These contracts are the epitome of scalability and transparency in the private Business contract.
Higher Accuracy
Hyperledger is designed on open-source platform to provide higher accuracy and stable security that are less prone to manual error in the transactions occurring in the Blockchain.
Trustworthy Business Model
Businesses using Hyperledger can easily reduce the cost and complexity of the legal restraint involving Blockchains due to its open-source platforms.
Open-Source Security
Hyperledger is created by The Linux Foundation which was done solely for the objective of creating open source blockchain and its related tools for utmost security and reliability.
