Today Hyperledger revealed its latest named project,
Hyperledger Avalon. Avalon is the group’s implementation of the Trusted Compute Specifications
published earlier this year by the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA). It enables computations to be processed off-chain while still being trusted, improving scalability without compromising privacy.
Perhaps the biggest problem facing public blockchains is their scalability, and trusted off-chain computation is seen as a promising way to fix it. But it is a complex process to design a way to take the calculations off the blockchain while keeping them secure.
The EEA’s original spec outlined how to do this with ‘Workers’, which take the more demanding tasks off the blockchain. Now, Hyperledger has released Avalon: its own implementation of the spec, which includes coded Workers for any blockchain platform.
