Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned blockchain platform where people build applications to communicate and interact with deployed smart contracts. However, smart contracts and apps must be written in programming languages like Go or Javascript. Alternatively, Ethereum made it friendly to write smart contracts by inventing Contract-Oriented Languages, e.g. Solidity, and created a Web3 library that can be used to interact with smart contracts. The talk will cover how an EVM has been integrated into Fabric, enabling users to write contracts in Contract-Oriented Languages as well as interact with them via the Web3 library. Developers familiar with Ethereum can easily develop on Fabric, leverage tools like Truffle & Remix, as well as migrate their Distributed Apps (DApps) with minimal effort. The talk will also describe use cases where permissioned blockchains are more desirable.
