     1  Multichannel
     2  ============
     3  
     4  [WIP]
     5  
     6  The fabric will allow for multiple channels with a designated ledger per
     7  channel (data segregation). This capability allows for multilateral
     8  contracts where only the restricted participants on the channel will
     9  submit, endorse, order, or commit transactions on that channel.  As
    10  such, a single peer can maintain multiple ledgers without compromising
    11  privacy and confidentiality.
