Hyperledger Fabric integrates Ethereum smart contracts

hyperledger
Enterprise blockchain Hyperledger Fabric has introduced support for Ethereum smart contracts. Fabric is designed to be modular with four main components. These are the main ledger, the consensus mechanism, identity management, and smart contracts called chaincode. The latest announcement provides an alternative to chaincode. Ethereum’s large pool of developers are comfortable with its Solidity smart contract language, so the integration should make Fabric more appealing to Ethereum developers. Additionally, many coders use Web3 a Node.js set of tools to build Ethereum decentralized apps (Dapps). By integrating with the EVM, these developers can work with Fabric and even migrate smart contracts and Dapps over to Hyperledger Fabric. From discussions with Hyperledger Fabric developers, many started on Ethereum before moving over to Fabric, so this should ease that path.
