Hyperledger Public Sector White Paper
...
Table 1: Summary of Hyperledger Frameworks:
FRAMEWORK | BRIEF DESCRIPTION |
HYPERLEDGER FABRIC | A platform for building distributed ledger solutions with a modular architecture that delivers a high degree of confidentiality, flexibility, resiliency, and scalability. This enables solutions developed with HyperledgerFabric to be adapted for any industry. |
HYPERLEDGER SAWTOOTH | A modular platform for building, deploying, and running distributed ledgers. Sawtooth features a new type of consensus, proof of elapsed time (PoET) which consumes far fewer resources than proof of work (PoW). |
Comment From Sofia Terzi The frameworks that must be listed here should include also Iroha and Indy. Iroha is an engine that can run public sector's smart contracts and Indy is for the identity part of our whitepaper.
