LFDT Phoenix: Fabric-X-Orderer Overview – A Scalable BFT Ordering Service for Fabric-X

Fabric-X is a digital asset-specific implementation of Hyperledger Fabric. Join us for a series on meetups that go into detail about what Fabric-X is and how you can use it. Fabric-X-Orderer is the new ordering service designed for Fabric-X, built on a scalable Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus protocol named Arma. Arma introduces key architectural innovations to support high transaction throughput, including the separation of consensus from transaction dissemination, and the use of sharding and pipelining to enhance parallelism in transaction processing. These techniques enable Arma to achieve over 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) for small transactions, meeting the performance targets of Fabric-X. In this meetup, we will provide an overview of the Fabric-X-Orderer architecture, delve into the underlying protocols, and share performance evaluation results that highlight its scalability and efficiency.
