Hyperledger CACTI
Hyperledger CACTI, A General-Purpose Modular Interoperability Framework, Moves to Graduated Status
Hyperledger CACTI is ulti-faceted interoperability platform for the development of applications that function across multiple blockchains, offering flexible, interoperable solutions that boost trust and operational efficiency.
Hyperledger CACTI addresses the crucial challenge of interoperability among blockchains and distributed ledgers, so that DApps in different networks running on the same or different DLT stacks can link their business workflows and share data and assets seamlessly. The various constituent parts of CACTI offer choices of modules and libraries; these can be configured and composed into cross-network transaction pipelines customized for users’ trust assumptions and usability requirements while ensuring transaction-safety. The ability to orchestrate transactions across networks in a decentralized manner, using a vendor-neutral framework like CACTI (with extensibility using DLT-specific adapters) allows distributed ledger networks to scale without depending on third-party chains and services. CACTI modules, libraries, and representative sample apps can be used to build complex cross-ledger workflows in a safe and controllable manner with minimal development and administrative overhead and no changes required to pre-existing DLT stacks.
Hyperledger CACTI, as a general-purpose extensible family of interoperability solutions, is a flagship Hyperledger project, and has the potential to be a fulcrum of innovation, especially in the enterprise blockchain ecosystem. It can act as a reference point for other complementary interoperability tools and protocols, within and outside the Hyperledger ecosystem. It has the potential to fulfill key requirements of the emerging DeFi application areas, CBDC being an example, in a way that conforms to core blockchain tenets of decentralized trust.
