## What it is
A read-only historic archive of Hyperledger Fabric, an enterprise-grade permissioned blockchain framework written in Go with a modular architecture and pluggable smart contract (chaincode) support. Active development has moved to Gerrit under the Linux Foundation, so this repository receives no updates or pull requests.

## Use cases
- build a permissioned blockchain network for enterprise
- develop and deploy smart contracts (chaincode) in Go
- study the historic architecture of Hyperledger Fabric
- run a private distributed ledger with pluggable consensus
- explore blockchain SDK examples for fabric v0.5
- set up a local fabric network for learning

## When to choose
- you need the original archived source of Hyperledger Fabric for research or historical reference
- you want to inspect early v0.5-era fabric code that is no longer maintained elsewhere

## When to avoid
- you want to build a production blockchain application - use the actively developed Hyperledger Fabric on Gerrit/GitHub instead
- you need bug fixes, security patches, or new features
- you want to contribute code - pull requests are not accepted here

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: blockchain, cryptography, security, sdk
- domain: blockchain, microservices, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform, windows
- tags: hyperledger, permissioned-blockchain, distributed-ledger, smart-contracts, chaincode, enterprise, archived-repository, read-only, cryptocurrency, docker, linux, macos
