Topics and Subtopics
Here is the list of topics and subtopics covered in this course.
1- Hyperledger Blockchain Ecosystem
In this section, we review Hyperledger ecosystem and projects for building blockchain applications. This section describes the organization of the Hyperledger Foundation, its history, and leadership. In addition, we provide an introduction to the open source projects in the portfolio.
- An introduction to the Hyperledger family begins with a description of the foundation, organization, and leadership. We then describe each project in the foundation which are divided into groups: Distributed Ledgers, Libraries, Tools, and Domain-Specific projects..
- The framework projects describe: Besu, Burrow, Fabric, Indy, IROHA, and Sawtooth.
- The Libraries projects describe: Aries, Quilt, Transact, and Ursa
- The Tools projects describe: Avalon, Caliper, Cello, and Explorer
- The Domain-Specific projects describe: Grid
- Building the Hyperledger framework layers describes the structure of the projects and how they are intended to complement, leverage, and work together.
- The Hyperledger design philosophy at a glance is a brief discussion on the general design approach and methodology used to select and develop projects within the ecosystem.
- Framework architecture overview describes at a high-level the layers and components required for implementing blockchain technology.
- The consensus layer describes and covers the various algorithms used to implement consensus within a blockchain. Fabric and Sawtooth will be used as examples.
- Smart contracts are programs used to execute the specific application logic for a blockchain. We will describe the different designs and methods for implementing smart contracts in Hyperledger comparing Fabric with Sawtooth.
- Databases are used for the immutable ledger and for storing state data. We will describe the different options available for Fabric.
- Peer networking is a primary component of any blockchain, so we provide a brief description of the network architecture used to create a Fabric blockchain.
