Hyperledger Framework

Introduction:

Hyperledger is an open-source collaborative effort hosted by the Linux Foundation, designed to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. Unlike public blockchains, Hyperledger provides a modular framework that allows businesses to create permissioned and private blockchain solutions tailored to their specific needs. This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the Hyperledger ecosystem, including its frameworks, tools, and real-world applications. Participants will learn how to design and implement blockchain solutions using Hyperledger technologies, empowering them to drive innovation within their organizations.
