Hyperledger Grid Framework Provides New Blockchain Dev Tools for Supply Chain

Hyperledger-an open-source project spearheaded by IBM-announced the launch of its Grid framework, a new set of tools designed for optimizing supply chain applications of the software.

The new project will introduce new aids and "Smart contract based business logic" to promote experimentation with Hyperledger's suite of technologies.

The motivation of the project is to convince individuals working in the space that Hyperledger's selection of blockchain tools is capable of solving the myriad of supply chain problems.

CryptoSlate reached out to developers working with the technology in the Hyperledger chat.

"In the spirit of other top level projects like Explorer and Composer, we welcome contributions to support compatibility with the entire Hyperledger greenhouse."

All three tools are Hyperledger products and reveal the group's bet on how each component could improve supply chain processes.

In the original blog post, Hyperledger provided three supply chain examples Grid could serve: asset exchange, tracking, and transformation.

In the incubation phase, the community explores and hashes out proposals, and the promising ones are refined and offered to anyone looking to work with Hyperledger.

While progressing along the roadmap, guidelines, and code open-source, developers will hopefully be inspired to tinker with the new blockchain tools.

In the case of IBM, Grid is positioned to prepare developers to build out blockchain products using Hyperledger's open-source solution.
