Hyperledger Fabric – the journey of a sample transaction

Now, let's look at the journey of a sample transaction with Hyperledger Fabric, as illustrated in the following diagram. This section will facilitate an understanding of the transaction processing protocol of Fabric:

Figure 2.7: Hyperledger Fabric walkthrough

Fabric introduces a newly designed blockchain, preserving the transaction processing architecture and aiming at a secure, scalable, resilient, modular, and confidential design. Hyperledger Fabric 2.0 supports the execution of distributed applications supporting enterprise-friendly programming models. The components in Hyperledger Fabric provide a modular design, optimally suited for a business network made of various enterprises. Hyperledger Fabric introduces a model based on three steps, an endorse-order-validate architecture, designed for the distributed execution of untrusted code in an untrusted environment. This separation not only allows...
