We’ve frequently said that GalaChain was built on Hyperledger Fabric… but what exactly does that mean?
https://www.lfdecentralizedtrust.org/projects/fabric
Hyperledger Fabric is an open source, modular blockchain architecture developed by the Decentralized Trust. Compared to many other chains in the web3 world, Hyperledger Fabric has distinct utility because of its unique pluggable consensus, horizontal scalability and innate ability to be customized.
Check out the replay of the live stream from October 2nd with Gala’s own Koushik Gavini as he dives deep into the details of our L1 blockchain, built for entertainment but ready for anything.
Why Hyperledger Fabric
Hyperledger Fabric was designed to be the basis of enterprise-level solutions, and it’s currently used by nearly 150 businesses that leverage it as an immutable ledger in their ecosystems. It’s capable of customized permissions and has a modular architecture that allows each channel to develop how they need to for specific projects.
This is huge for the world of entertainment, where some data often must be masked for security purposes, but a public ledger is still required. Permission control lets developers control access to certain functions within their own channel, so that they can build how they want.
Finally the horizontal scalability of the multi-channel approach to blockchain allows developers to prioritize what they need. Need transactions on your channel to be lightning fast? You can do that. Real-time applications demand real-time speeds and responsiveness, and the needs of your channel are all you need to worry about.
Building Bigger and Better
Since Hyperledger Fabric was designed specifically to function at a high level for businesses, there’s tons of utility that can be built on it. Consensus, governance, a decentralized and immutable ledger – these things are all present, but they increase HLF’s utility rather than limit it.
The fact that Fabric was designed for utility, however, makes it so that developers can create unique networks using GalaChain channels that can do things no other chain out there can. Features like permissioned allowances, full oracle support and external wallet authorization make developing a competitive, next-generation project on GalaChain easy.
What’s more, developers can hop right into GalaChain. Using the powerful Fablo tool (contributed to the HLF community by the Gala team), devs can easily set up a network and be running right away. Execute chaincode in your first hour on your own channel.
Most chains you have to learn an obscure, clunky language for development. Not with GalaChain! Write chaincode and smart contracts in TypeScript – the fifth most popular programming language in the world!
Build With Us
GalaChain is getting more and more developed all the time, and the time to hop in is NOW! The innate utility of Hyperledger Fabric has helped us create something that’s simple, accessible and extremely powerful on GalaChain.
No matter what you want to build, you’ll find powerful solutions on GalaChain
