    16  ## Hyperledger Fabric
    17  
    18  Hyperledger Fabric is a platform for distributed ledger solutions, underpinned
    19  by a modular architecture delivering high degrees of confidentiality,
    20  resiliency, flexibility and scalability. It is designed to support pluggable
    21  implementations of different components, and accommodate the complexity and
    22  intricacies that exist across the economic ecosystem.
    23  
    24  Hyperledger Fabric delivers a uniquely elastic and extensible architecture,
    25  distinguishing it from alternative blockchain solutions. Planning for the
    26  future of enterprise blockchain requires building on top of a fully-vetted,
    27  open source architecture; Hyperledger Fabric is your starting point.
