It also -explains the characteristics of the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain and suggests -some ways to increase your knowledge and understanding. +Hyperledger Fabric is a platform for distributed ledger solutions underpinned +by a modular architecture delivering high degrees of confidentiality, +resiliency, flexibility and scalability. It is designed to support pluggable +implementations of different components and accommodate the complexity and +intricacies that exist across the economic ecosystem. + +Fabric delivers a uniquely elastic and extensible architecture, distinguishing +it from alternative blockchain solutions. Planning for the future of enterprise +blockchain requires building on top of a fully vetted, open-source architecture; +Hyperledger Fabric is your starting point. + +We recommended first-time users begin by going through the rest of the +introduction below in order to gain familiarity with how blockchains work +and with the specific features and components of Fabric. + +Once comfortable -- or if you're already familiar with blockchain and +Hyperledger Fabric -- go to :doc:`getting_started` and from there explore the +demos, technical specifications, APIs, etc. What is a Blockchain? ---------------------
