Blockchain platform Hyperledger Iroha is designed for simple creation and management of assets. This is a distributed ledger of transactions.
Iroha has the following features:
- Creation and management of custom complex assets, such as currencies or indivisible rights, serial numbers, patents, etc.
- Management of user accounts
- Taxonomy of accounts based on domains — or sub-ledgers in the system
- The system of rights and verification of user permissions for the execution of transactions and queries in the system
- Validation of business rules for transactions and queries in the system
Among the non-functional requirements can be noted a high degree of network fault tolerance (Byzantine Fault Tolerant).
Iroha runs as a daemon (irohad), representing a single peer in the Iroha network. For each peer, there is the following package structure, corresponding to components in the system:
- Torii (⛩, gate) is a package that contains classes, which are in charge of interaction with users (clients)
- Network encompasses interaction with the network of peers
- Validation classes check business rules and validity (correct format) of transactions or queries
- Synchronizer helps to synchronize new peers in the system or temporarily disconnected peers
- Simulator generates a temporary snapshot of storage to validate transactions
- Ametsuchi is the ledger block storage
- Model classes are system entities, and converters for them
For other components and more explanations, please take a look at the technical and design docs.
Please, follow build process. After building Iroha daemon, try to use CLI or launch Iroha peer network.
