Fabric
The fabric is a blockchain project that was proposed by IBM and DAH (Digital Asset Holdings). This blockchain framework implementation is intended to provide a foundation for the development of blockchain solutions with a modular architecture. It is based on a pluggable architecture where various components, such as consensus engine and membership services, can be plugged into the system as required. It also makes use of container technology which is used to run smart contracts in an isolated contained environment. Currently, its status is active and it's the first project to graduate from incubation to active state.
The source code is available at https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric.
