Milestone Release Delivers BFT, Provides Performance, Speed, Privacy, and More for Enterprise Deployments; Continues Market Leadership as Part of New LF Decentralized Trust

SAN FRANCISCO and VIENNA, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust, the premier open source foundation for decentralized technology ecosystems, announced the general availability of Hyperledger Fabric 3.0, which includes Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus that delivers true decentralization for enterprise blockchain deployments. Now a project of the newly launched LF Decentralized Trust, Hyperledger Fabric is a modular, enterprise-grade blockchain framework that is optimized for performance, speed, and privacy.

Powerful new consensus option increases the resilience and reliability of Hyperledger Fabric networks

Hyperledger Fabric 3.0 builds on the performance enhancements introduced in version 2.5, the current LTS release. It also offers a powerful new consensus option, Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) ordering service, which increases the resilience and reliability of Hyperledger Fabric networks. Specifically, Fabric 3.0 is the first blockchain platform to leverage the SmartBFT protocol, which is both easy to implement in existing networks and well suited to production enterprise deployments.

With the SmartBFT ordering service, enterprises using Hyperledger Fabric 3.0 are able to continue operations even if nodes are compromised, a critical requirement for fully decentralized systems. Consensus protocols assure that all parties process transactions in the same order, which is what preserves the integrity and consistency of a decentralized system. When a node is compromised (a Byzantine Failure), it can impact integrity and bring the system to a halt. In this release of Fabric, with the integration of the SmartBFT consensus library, enterprises have the option for production-ready protection against such failures. 

“Support for Byzantine Fault Tolerance completes one of the early visions for Hyperledger Fabric’s unique execute-order-validate modular architecture,” said David Enyeart, Hyperledger Fabric Maintainer and Release Manager at IBM. “While peer nodes have always executed and validated transactions in a decentralized fashion, the new support enables various network participants to provide ordering service nodes without having to place trust in any single organization. The new support opens up use cases where resilience and reliability are critical for every aspect of the distributed system.”

“Hyperledger Fabric has been a source and center of innovation for enterprise blockchain since the market’s earliest days,” said Daniela Barbosa, General Manager of Decentralized Technologies at the Linux Foundation and Executive Director of LF Decentralized Trust. “With this 3.0 release, the Fabric community has once again developed powerful new features that are critical for large-scale industry adoption. Around the world, blockchain is quietly moving into the core of enterprise systems. As the market’s most mature enterprise DLT platform, Hyperledger Fabric is leading the way, powering a wide range of critical decentralized systems and applications. The impact and innovation of Fabric make it an integral piece to both the enterprise market and the newly formed LF Decentralized Trust.”

To support the widespread adoption of Hyperledger Fabric, LF Decentralized Trust also announced that Fujitsu has completed the requirements to become the newest Hyperledger Fabric Certified Service Provider. There are now 16 Certified Service Providers that have the documented expertise to provide support, consulting, professional services, and training for enterprise deployments of Hyperledger Fabric technology.

Additionally, a new training course, Hyperledger Fabric Mastery: Design, Develop and Deploy, will open for registration soon.

BEIJING, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On July 17, a China-U.S. youth delegation came to Dali of Yunnan Province. By examining how Dali’s rich history intersects with modern development, the delegates explored new pathways for rural development.

They visited Dali Old Town, tried their hand at making the Bai people’s Three-Course Tea and also explored the ancient town of Xizhou, where they learned how modern tourism and indigenous life coexist.

In Yunnanyi Village, they explored its history as a stop along the Tea Horse Road and learned about the role it played during the Second World War (WWII).

Tyler James Smith

“I think it’s a very underappreciated part of World War II history. Hearing these stories of different countries working together despite cultural differences is incredibly inspiring.

I also think there are many stories like these that haven’t been widely told, simply because World War II is such a complex period in history. That’s why I think it’s so meaningful to visit museums like this and experience these stories firsthand.”

At Xiangyun Economic and Technological Development Zone, they visited a local new energy company to see how green, low-carbon development is driving regional growth.

Valerie Marie

“I recently started studying energy transitions. I know China has been really big in the renewable energy sector. So actually getting to hear more about [China’s] 2060 [pledge], learning more about carbon neutrality [goals], as well as other zero-carbon goals, was cool.”

During their stay in Dali, they also strolled along the Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor.

Bai Yiwen

“I’d describe this journey as “to be continued,” because my own connection with Yunnan is far from over. For the U.S. delegates, this was only their first visit, so they’ve only had a glimpse of what Yunnan has to offer. I hope they will have more opportunities to come back to China, explore other cities in Yunnan, and discover even more of its people, culture and traditions.”

After Dali, the delegates will visit Beijing for more tours and exchanges. The event was co-hosted by China International Communications Group (CICG) Center for the Americas and the U.S.-based International Student Conferences.
