IOTA Integrates Tangle into Hyperledger Fabric for More Capabilities

In an effort to make it possible for the permissioned Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network to support more permissionless features, including fee-less payments, the IOTA team has announced the integration of IOTA Tangle into Hyperledger Fabric, according to a blog post on November 26, 2019. At a time when the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain platform is increasingly being adopted by businesses for more efficient supply chain management, the IOTA team says the integration of the Tangle into the former will enable it to support a vast array of essential features including fee-less payments, encrypted transaction payload, and public/private message chains.

What’s more, the IOTA team has hinted that it’s looking to create the Hyperledger Fabric DLT, which will support smart contracts that can be used to send requests to Tangle via dedicated software. Users will also be able to store or update the results of the Hyperledger Fabric smart contract execution from Tangle and send payments to IOTA Wallets.
