In today’s interconnected IoT ecosystems, blockchain technology acts as a facilitator for decentralization. Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) is a renounced permissioned blockchain platform designed for enterprise use. Currently, HLF supports two primary consensus algorithms: Raft and smartBFT. Despite HLF’s modular nature, integrating new consensus algorithms remains a challenging and intricate process that lacks sufficient guidelines. In this work, we bridge this gap by providing a novel, comprehensive, yet practical guide to simplify the integration of consensus algorithms into HLF. Furthermore, we demonstrate our approach by integrating a new hybrid algorithm into HLF, specifically tailored for the IoT ecosystem. Compared to the current algorithms, experiments indicate promising performance and reliability.

摘要

In today’s interconnected IoT ecosystems, blockchain technology acts as a facilitator for decentralization. Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) is a renounced permissioned blockchain platform designed for enterprise use. Currently, HLF supports two primary consensus algorithms: Raft and smartBFT. Despite HLF’s modular nature, integrating new consensus algorithms remains a challenging and intricate process that lacks sufficient guidelines. In this work, we bridge this gap by providing a novel, comprehensive, yet practical guide to simplify the integration of consensus algorithms into HLF. Furthermore, we demonstrate our approach by integrating a new hybrid algorithm into HLF, specifically tailored for the IoT ecosystem. Compared to the current algorithms, experiments indicate promising performance and reliability.
