Reliable transaction orchestration is a key to scale

In enterprise blockchain, organizations are often held back by an inability to consistently and reliably orchestrate transactions. These organizations must manage transactions that span multiple blockchain networks, integrate with existing IT systems, and maintain strict compliance. But balancing speed, security, and control is no small feat.

What enterprises need is a scalable, customizable solution—one that can coordinate, validate, and process transactions across diverse blockchain ecosystems without sacrificing performance or security.

The orchestration challenge: why enterprises struggle

Submitting a transaction to a blockchain network is far more complex than writing data to a traditional database. Transactions are asynchronous by nature, which brings a variety of challenges that commonly inhibit enterprise technologists from getting the technology to production use for their organizations.

Three core challenges consistently stand in the way of effective transaction orchestration:

1. Transaction Lifecycle Management: Tracking a transaction's journey from submission to finality requires sophisticated sequencing, retry logic, conflict resolution mechanisms, gas management and status tracking, amongst other things.
2. Multi-chain Complexity: Organizations must manage fundamentally different consensus and transaction confirmation behaviors from one chain to the next, while maintaining a universal view of state on which they can make decisions and deliver valuable application experiences.
3. Integrations with legacy systems: Inbound and outbound integrations with blockchain solutions are complex and require secure integration pathways for key and data storage, blockchain APIs, event streams, identity reconciliation, and more.

Hyperledger FireFly: the essential solution for transaction orchestration

Enterprise Hyperledger FireFly is an open-source, enterprise-grade orchestration engine with optimized performance and trusted governance under the LF Decentralized Trust. FireFly sits at the heart of Kaleido’s Web3 Middleware product, providing secure connectivity into any number of blockchain networks for large enterprises and financial institutions.

FireFly transforms transaction orchestration for enterprises:

• Unified orchestration: Coordinates transactions across public and private chains, ensuring consistent execution, compliance, and visibility.
• Enterprise-grade transaction management: Tracks the entire lifecycle of transactions and asynchronously tracks statuses while solving for the complexities of sequencing, retry, and error handling out of the box.
• Data privacy and control: Selectively shares data while protecting sensitive information.
• Smart Contract APIs: Automatically generates REST APIs for any smart contract, rapidly streamlining the development process for developers.
• Seamless interoperability: Bridges on-chain and off-chain systems, integrating with ERP, CRM, and custom applications.

Why FireFly + Web3 Middleware is a game changer

FireFly is a powerful technology on its own, but its transformative power is further unlocked when embedded within Kaleido's Web3 Middleware. This offering extends FireFly's capabilities through its pluggable interfaces:

• Configurable blockchain connectivity: Allows custom configurations for enhanced throughput, gas management, transaction finality, error handling, and retry for each blockchain network.
• Wallet & key management: Enterprise-grade signing with advanced key storage options natively connected to FireFly for streamlined development.
• Integration with data and key stores: Seamless integrations with leading cloud-based HSMs and data storage services.
• Advanced Permissioning: Robust access control module with RBAC down to the blockchain layer with mapping to legacy identity systems.

FireFly and Web3 Middleware open up a viable path to production by solving for the difficult plumbing and technical challenges that have held enterprise blockchain apps back for a decade.
