Iroha is a distributed ledger project, that aims to provide a development environment where C++ and mobile application developers could contribute to Hyperledger. The project seeks to complement Fabric, Sawtooth, and other potential projects, being a framework with pre-defined set of commands, permissions and queries that can be used with various client libraries to easily create applications for desktop and mobile platforms.

Iroha is inspired by Japanese Kaizen principle — eliminate excessiveness (muri). Iroha has essential functionality for asset, information or identity management, at the same time being an efficient and trustworthy byzantine fault-tolerant tool for your enterprise needs. 

Key Characteristics

Permissioned network; written in C++; Client libraries in Java, Python, JS, Swift; BFT consensus algorithm YetAnotherConsensus (YAC); ready-to-use set of commands and queries, Multi-signature transactions.
