The platform adds several major features that can improve the way communication between its different participants. The 2.0 version of Hyperledger Fabric has made some significant improvements to the decentralization of the network by adding a new management system for chaincode, which is Fabric's smart contract term. Now, multiple organizations can agree on the key parameters of the chaincode and then use it to share the ledger. In addition, the chaincode can be adjusted by a single organization and then submitted to the ledger to ensure that everyone agrees on what data can be shared with each other. At the same time, data sharing has been simplified to work on a need-to-know basis. Businesses now have the option to share data privately with specific members of the instant network, eliminating the need to define complex channel combinations to perform the same operation. Finally, the announcement also introduced several performance improvements, including task parallelization and more efficient program flow. Hyperledger claims this enables the network to support thousands of transactions per second.
