Capabilities

Hyperledger Bevel, formerly known as "Blockchain Automation Framework," is an open-source project within the Hyperledger community. It serves as an accelerator for setting up and deploying secure, scalable, and production-ready Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) networks. The primary goal of Hyperledger Bevel is to streamline the process of creating and managing DLT networks, allowing developers to focus on building blockchain applications without getting bogged down by the complexities of environment setup and network scalability.

Key features and aspects of Hyperledger Bevel include:

1. Network Deployment: Hyperledger Bevel offers tools and automation for quickly deploying DLT networks. It aims to simplify the process of standing up network nodes, configuring permissions, and ensuring network security.

2. Scalability and Performance: The framework addresses scalability concerns by providing best practices and configurations for optimizing the performance of DLT networks. This includes considerations for high transaction throughput and low-latency communication.

3. Production Readiness: Hyperledger Bevel aims to facilitate the creation of production-ready DLT networks by providing guidelines and tools for setting up robust, fault-tolerant, and highly available networks suitable for real-world usage.

4. Modular Architecture: Bevel's modular architecture allows users to customize and adapt the framework to their specific needs. It supports the integration of various blockchain platforms and technologies.

5. Onboarding New Organizations: The framework assists in onboarding new organizations onto existing DLT networks. This makes it easier for new participants to join consortium networks while adhering to established network rules and permissions.

6. Safe Deployment and Operation: Hyperledger Bevel focuses on ensuring the secure deployment and operation of DLT networks. It provides guidance on securing network components, managing cryptographic assets, and implementing access controls.

7. Community-Driven Development: Being part of the Hyperledger project, Hyperledger Bevel benefits from collaboration within the open-source community. Contributors work together to improve the framework, share best practices, and address challenges in DLT network deployment and management.

Hyperledger Bevel contributes to the Hyperledger ecosystem by offering a standardized approach to deploying, managing, and scaling DLT networks. By providing a reliable foundation for DLT operations, Hyperledger Bevel empowers developers and organizations to accelerate the adoption of blockchain technology for various use cases, ranging from supply chain management to financial services and beyond.
