The rotate signers service is an inclusion and optimization service for environments running IBFT consensus. Kaleido caps the active signers limit at 16 to ensure the stability and performance of the algorithm, and as such this service allows for environments with more than 16 signing nodes to achieve equitable participation in the voting and block signing processes. For environments with 16 or fewer signing nodes, the active signer count can be lowered to optimize the algorithm’s threads while still maintaining maximum byzantine fault tolerance.
This can be trimmed down to maximize efficiency of the algorithm while still maintaining the highest degree of byzantine fault tolerance.
Multiple signers can be batched into each rotation interval as a way to offer more consistent participation. Alternatively, the rotation pool can be set at the lowest threshold of 1 as a way to offer more prolonged periods of participation.
Environmental administrators can configure this interval in accordance with agreed upon network mandates. The minimum interval is 5 minutes.

Since launching in 2015, Hyperledger Fabric has been a top choice for enterprises looking to build apps on permissioned blockchain networks. The modular architecture is capable of powering large-scale applications that require enterprise-grade data security.
The ability to protect certain details of peer transactions has made Hyperledger Fabric a go-to protocol for industries like financial services, supply chains, and the insurance industry. It works for complex use cases that involve personally identifiable information and proprietary business data.
Hyperledger Fabric is one of the many protocol choices available on Kaleido. With a full suite of plug and play services, flexible cloud deployment options, and powerful APIs, Kaleido is the easiest way to run a Fabric network anywhere.
Hyperledger Fabric is an open source project designed to handle enterprise-grade use cases. Key differentiators are its quick transaction throughput and its modularity, allowing for more innovation and optimization regardless of industry use cases. Other benefits include scalability and security, key pillars of any enterprise application.

Talk to an ExpertQuorum is a blockchain protocol specially designed for use in a private blockchain network, where there is only a single member owning all the nodes or a consortium blockchain network where multiple members each own a portion of the network.
Quorum is designed to be highly scalable, with low transaction latencies and the ability to support a higher number of transactions per second than other blockchain protocols. This makes it well-suited for use in high-volume applications.
Quorum includes a number of security features that are designed to protect sensitive or proprietary data, like private transactions that allow network participants to transact without revealing the details of their transactions to the rest of the network.
Quorum is based on the Ethereum protocol and can support a wide range of decentralized applications and smart contracts. It is also highly modular and customizable so that it can be tailored to the needs of specific use cases.
There is no cost required to submit transactions to a Quorum network, unlike Ethereum, which requires the payment of high and unpredictable gas fees to submit transactions.

Talk to an ExpertWhen using the Istanbul BFT consensus algorithm alongside either the Quorum or Pantheon node clients, the upper benchmark of actively participating signers is capped by Kaleido at 16 in order to ensure stability and performance of your blockchain network. If the number of active signers were to exceed the logical limit, the algorithm would become overstrained due to an untenable number of threads and render your chain unusable. By enforcing a signer limit, Kaleido safeguards against overwhelming traffic that would otherwise suffocate the environment.
However, as a consortium begins to scale and the number of participants in a network exceeds the upper bounds of permitted active signing nodes, there needs to be a mechanism to provide equitable participation in the consensus algorithm’s voting process. For example, imagine a Kaleido environment with 30 nodes all belonging to different organizations where all of whom desired to be signing nodes.
Organizations participating in coopetition-style networks will undoubtedly want, and likely need, to play a part in the signing of blocks and validation of the chain. The rotate signers service exists to accommodate this mandate by allowing one or more nodes to be added and withdrawn from the active signing pool in configurable intervals.
Environmental administrators can configure this interval in accordance with agreed upon network mandates. The minimum interval is 5 minutes. Take an environment with 5 signing nodes, 4 active signers, a batch of 1 and an interval of 5 minutes. This means that each node would only spend 5 minutes during a 25 minute window as a non-singer.
Hyperledger Fabric is a private blockchain that allows developers to create subnets, or channels, meaning that certain proprietary or personal information can remain confidential. This makes Fabric a protocol of choice for industries like financial services, insurance, and supply chain management.
Businesses reach production faster when they combine Avalanche Subnets with the full suite of web3 development tools offered on the Kaleido platform.
When you launch Polygon Supernets on Kaleido, you access the unique scaling solutions Polygon has to offer and an array of pluggable tools to mint tokens, create assets, and monitor activity—making it easier than ever to stand up ambitious web3 apps.
Quorum is a protocol of choice for industries like financial services, insurance, and supply chain management where enterprise-grade.
