Key Features
Permissioned architecture
Highly modular
Pluggable consensus
Open smart contract model — flexibility to implement any desired solution model (account model, UTXO model, structured data,unstructured data, etc)
Low latency of finality/confirmation
Flexible approach to data privacy : data isolation using ‘channels’, or share private data on a needto-know basis using private data ‘collections’
Multi-language smart contract support: Go, Java, Javascript
Support for EVM and Solidity
Designed for continuous operations, including rolling upgrades and asymmetric version sup-port
Governance and versioning of smart contracts
Flexible endorsement model for achieving consensus across required organizations
Queryable data (key-based queries and JSON queries)
Adopted By
AWS
Azure

Smart contracts document the business processes you want to automate with self-executing terms between the parties written into lines of code. The code and the agreements contained therein exist across the distributed, decentralized blockchain network. Transactions are trackable and irreversible, creating trust between organizations. This enables businesses to make more informed decisions quicker — saving time, reducing costs, and reducing risks.
Benefits
Permissioned network
Confidential transactions
Pluggable architecture
Easy to get started
Establish decentralized trust in a network of known participants rather than an open network of anonymous participants.
Expose only the data you want to share to the parties you want to share it with.
Tailor the blockchain to industry needs with a pluggable architecture rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Program smart contracts in the languages your team works in today, instead of learning custom languages and architectures.
