Unit 3

Hyperledger Fabric

Hyperledger Fabric Mohit Kumar Saxena


Hyperledger Fabric
• Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned blockchain
platform designed for enterprise use.
• It was introduced by the Linux Foundation under the
Hyperledger Project to provide a modular and flexible
blockchain infrastructure.
• Hyperledger Fabric is a robust, enterprise-grade
blockchain platform designed for businesses that
prioritize privacy, security, and scalability.
• Its modularity allows organizations to customize the
network for their specific use cases

Key Features of Hyperledger
Fabric:
• Permissioned Network: Only authorized participants can
join and interact.
• Modular Architecture: Components like consensus
algorithms, membership management, and smart contracts
are customizable.
• Private Transactions: Supports confidential and
private data sharing using channels.
• Pluggable Consensus: Consensus mechanism can be
selected based on business needs.
• Smart Contracts: Referred to as Chaincode, written in
languages like Go, Java, or Node.js.
Hyperledger Fabric Mohit Kumar Saxena
Advantages of Hyperledger Fabric
• Permissioned Access: Ensures only trusted entities
participate.
• High Scalability: Supports thousands of transactions
per second.
• Flexible Consensus: Customizable for different
applications.
• Privacy: Offers secure and private channels.
• Modular Design: Components like consensus and identity
management can be tailored to business needs.

Transaction Flow in Hyperledger
Fabric
• The transaction process in Hyperledger Fabric follows
a unique Execute-Order-Validate approach instead of
the traditional Order-Execute model.

Architecture of Hyperledger Fabric
Membership Service Provider (MSP)

• Manages identity and access control using digital


certificates.

• Participants are authenticated through a Certificate


Authority (CA).

• Ensures only authorized users can interact with the


network.
Hyperledger Fabric Mohit Kumar Saxena
Peers
• Nodes in the network that maintain the ledger and run
smart contracts (Chaincode). Types of Peers:
• Endorser Peer: Simulates and verifies transactions.

• Committer Peer: Validates transactions and adds them


to the blockchain.

• Anchor Peer: Facilitates communication between


organizations across channels.

Orderer (Ordering Service)

Steps in Transaction Flow:
Proposal Submission:
• A client application submits a transaction proposal to the
endorsing peers.
Transaction Simulation and Endorsement:
• Endorsing peers simulate the transaction using the smart
contract (Chaincode).
• They sign and return the endorsed result to the client.
Ordering:
• The client submits the endorsed transactions to the Ordering
Service.
• The Ordering Service batches transactions into blocks.
Validation and Commitment:
• Committing peers validate transactions using endorsement
policies.
• Valid transactions Hyperledger

Advantages of Decomposing Consensus in
Hyperledger Fabric
• Improved Performance: Transactions do not need to be
executed by all nodes.

• Security and Flexibility: Customizable consensus


mechanisms.

• Scalability: Modular approach allows handling high


transaction throughput.

• Enterprise-Ready: Supports role-based permissions and


private data sharing.
