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 Bevel is a ledger operator for Besu, Fabric and Indy, and is an accelerator that helps developers rapidly set-up and deploy secure, scalable and production ready DLT network(s) that also allows new organizations to be easily onboarded on the network. Bevel is an alternative when existing BaaS offerings do not support a consortiums current set of requirements.

Hyperledger Cacti is a blockchain integration platform that allows users to perform cross-chain asset transfers: in other words, trading, say, a car represented by a token on a Hyperledger Fabric blockchain for Eth on the Ethereum mainnet. Cacti does not require a token for use and, rather than a “blockchain of blockchain” like many interoperability solutions, aims to be an “SDK of SDKs.” Cactus uses a modular architecture that makes it easy to add support for new blockchains. Transferring tokens *between* chains is a less common application (for a number of good reasons). The idea is that there are two tokens on two different chains that need to change ownership—but the location of the tokens (i.e., the chains they are on) don’t change.

Hyperledger Caliper is a blockchain benchmark tool that allows users to measure the performance of a specific blockchain implementation with a set of predefined use cases. It provides a common layer to integrate with major existing blockchain frameworks/platforms, so that the same benchmarks can be run for different blockchain systems.

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.
