Enabling composable finance and programmable privacy to accelerate blockchain innovation

Building Web3 apps is complex. There are protocols to master, new constructs like tokens and smart contracts to understand, and the challenge of integrating it all with existing systems.

That’s why we worked with LF Decentralized Trust to create Hyperledger FireFly, the first open-source Web3 middleware. It is a graduated project running production use case around the world.

FireFly is a blockchain middleware, making it easier to connect reliably across multiple public and private blockchains and manage the full lifecycle of digital assets with native token and indexing support.
Accelerate development
Build Web3 apps faster with a rich stack of native Web3, B2B, and integration services.
Orchestrate event-driven flows
Ensure reliable execution with an intelligent engine that handles batching, sequencing, routing, and error recovery automatically.
Run at scale
Connect to the multi-chain and multi-protocol Web3 world on a scalable, cloud-native platform built as microservices on Kubernetes.
