Hyperledger Besu is an enterprise-friendly client for processing transactions in the Ethereum blockchain. It is designed for use on public and private permissioned networks and is optimized for a consortium environment. Hyperledger Besu includes several consensus algorithms including PoW, and PoA (IBFT, IBFT 2.0, Etherhash, and Clique).

 

 

Several consensus mechanisms i.e. PoW, PoA, IBFT, etc.
ERC-20 - Fungible Tokens, ERC-721 - NFT Tokens, Other standards: ERC-777 Smart Contract Calls with tokens, ERC-1155 Multi-Token Standard

Hyperledger Fabric, the most widely deployed enterprise blockchain platform, offers performance at scale while preserving privacy making it the DLT chosen by more of the top100 public companies than any other platform. Built with a modular, flexible architecture with plug-and-play support for components, such as consensus and membership services.

 

Mainly Kafka. Pluggable consensus planned in v3.0 with BFT implementation planned too
No existing native token support but on roadmap to be added via Fabric Token SDK (currently a Hyperledger Lab) and FabToken. Tokens can be built as an application chaincode level emulating ERC-20 (FT) or ERC-721 (NFT) or simply as a unique ID in chaincode

Hyperledger Indy is a Digital Identity-focused DLT. It is interoperable with other blockchains, and can also be used as a standalone plaform to power the decentralization of identity.

Hyperledger Iroha is an easy-to-use, modular distributed blockchain platform inspired by Japanese Kaizen principle Ñ eliminate excessiveness (muri). It delivers essential functionality for asset, information or identity management and can serve an efficient and trustworthy tool for enterprise needs. Key features include unique consensus and ordering service algorithms, rich role-based permission model and multi-signature support.
crash fault tolerant consensus algorithm (YAC) and BFT (Sumeragi) in v2
Has a native Iroha token and a standard token format available soon in Iroha 2.0 allowing for interaction with third-party tokens in standard formats (e.g., ERC20, ERC721, etc.) via blockchain bridges (synched smart contracts on each blockchain, which lock/unlock tokens on the sending chain and mint/burn tokens on the receiving chain)
Hiero is the open source DLT codebase used to build the Hedera network; including the hashgraph consensus algorithm and all core services, tooling and libraries. Hiero supports the development of a wide range of decentralized applications and core platform features tailored for the Hedera network, including wallets, exchanges, explorers, bridges, SDKs, private ledgers, and advanced cryptographic solutions.
