Ecosystem

A curated list of active Hyperledger Fabric ecosystem projects.

Getting Started

• Fabric documentation
  • Official documentation including Getting Started, Key Concepts, and Tutorials
• fabric-samples
  • Official Fabric samples repository that supports the Fabric documentation tutorials
• Full Stack Asset Transfer
  
  • Workshop-style exercises to take you from building a smart contract and client application in development through to a full K8s deployed solution

Application projects (chaincode, client applications, application frameworks, interop)

• Application SDKs
  • Build client applications written in Node, Java, or Go
• Chaincode libraries
  • Build chaincode applications written in Node, Java, or Go
• hlf-connector
  • Expose chaincode via REST service or Kafka messaging 
• Fabric Smart Client
  • A flow-based framework for writing blockchain applications that preserves privacy between transactors
• Fabric Token SDK
  • SDK to assist in building Token based solutions on Hyperledger Fabric (uses Fabric Smart Client)
• Firefly
  • A complete stack for enterprises to build and scale secure Web3 applications.
• Cacti
  • A multi-faceted pluggable interoperability framework to link networks built on heterogeneous distributed ledger and blockchain technologies and to run transactions spanning multiple networks.

Docker-based deployment environments (often used for development and testing)

• Microfab
  • Single docker container with configurable organizations/peers/channels. A full fabric network startable in seconds, perfect for development
• fabric-samples test-network
  • Docker-compose network used for Fabric official tutorials and samples
• fablo
  • Specify a network to spin up a docker-compose network 
• cello
  • Deploy to Docker including Docker Swarm support

Kubernetes-based deployment environments (often used for production deployment)

• Bevel operator for Fabric
  • Kubernetes operator that works with Bevel deployment framework
• Fabric Operator
  • Kubernetes Fabric operator that powers IBM Blockchain Platform
• Fabric Ansible Collection
  • Ansible roles to deploy the Fabric Operator and Operations Console (open source and the IBM support offering images)
  • Collection of Ansible modules for creation and management of Fabric Networks
• Fabric K8s Chaincode Builder
  • Chaincode Builder specifically targeting K8s deployments of docker based chaincode
  • Github Action for building a K8s chaincode package

Management and operations (agnostic to deployment environments)

• Fabric operations console
  • Web UI for management of Fabric Network, often used with Fabric Operator
• Fabric Admin SDK
  • Build client applications to manage Fabric channels and chaincodes
• fabric-opssc
  • Operations Smart Contract (OpsSC) is smart contract-based system operations for blockchain-based systems.
  • Enables decentralized system operations over multiple organizations.
• Blockchain explorer
  • Browse activity on the underlying blockchain network.
