In distributed systems like blockchains, consensus is the process of getting all nodes to agree on a single version of the truth (the ledger). Without consensus, a decentralized network would be chaotic and unreliable. Common Consensus Mechanisms Proof of Work (PoW): Used by Bitcoin. Miners compete to solve puzzles. It’s energy-intensive but extremely secure. Proof…
Querying transaction content out from a blockchain network is a common practice used by common scenarios like exploring the blockchain history or verifying the blockchain transaction content from a known ID. In Hyperledger Fabric, the transaction can be queried using a special system chaincode QSCC (Query System Chaincode) which is for ledger and other Fabric-related…
Hyperledger Fabric is a consortium blockchain system. It’s performance is relatively good and its modular architecture enables it to be usable in many scenarios. Hyperledger Fabric itself has rich documents and samples of test networks. For beginners, deploying a new network for trying and testing still consumes quite some time. In this post, we will…
In Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, the default Go lang version is 1.10. For compatibility reason, the Ubuntu LTS will usually keep the major release version numbers for packages. However, many applications, such as Hyperledger Fabric 2.0, require a newer version of Go. In this post, let’s take a look at how to install a system level…
