Title: Hyperledger is different from the rest
Post by: Samyalson on January 22, 2019, 05:46:34 PM
If there's one thing blockchain is rightly accused of, it's speculative hype.

Hyperledger is different, the project is focussed purely on the underlying tech.  This is good for the space because it demonstrates to non-crypto enthusiasts that there is more to blockchain than hype.

"Hyperledger Quilt offers interoperability between ledger systems by implementing the Interledger protocol (also known as ILP)...."

I'm not implying anything :)

I want to ask, what do you think are the main objectives or main functions of Hyperledger? If the project is focused purely on the underlying technology, then so far has there been success. Thank you for the review, very helpful.

It looks interesting because it is run by the Linux foundation. On the other side I think a blockchain like this is missing the point because they don't have a crypto currency. They seem to want to stay clear of any payments on the hyperledger. But if you do not have an incentive to keep the system decentralized what is the point of the ledger? Yes big companies may use it for their purposes. But there will always be the danger that the ledger can be manipulated by some of the players and their projects.
