Dear Fabric Community,

What would happen if the developers could have access to the following:

- A high level API that hides the complexity of Fabric;

- A Peer-to-Peer infrastructure that let Fabric Clients and Endorsers talk to each as required by the business processes;

- Advanced transaction orchestration;

- A simplified model to interact with chaincodes;

- A State-based programming model that let you forget about RW sets and focus on business objects and their interactions;

- Create tokens that represents any kind of asset (baked by a real-world asset or virtual);

- Choose the privacy level that best fits the use-case without changing the application logic;

- Perform atomic swaps;

- Interoperate with token systems in other blockchain networks;

- Add a token layer to existing Fabric distributed application?

Developing Fabric-based distributed applications would become simpler and joyful.

 

It is therefore with great pleasure that I would like to share with you some announcements.
We have just open-sourced two new projects as Hyperledger Labs projects whose aim is to deliver on the above expectations: 

1. Fabric Smart Client (https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/fabric-smart-client): The Fabric Smart Client is a new Fabric Client that lets you focus on business processes and simplifies the development of Fabric-based distributed application.
2. Fabric Token SDK (https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/fabric-token-sdk): The Fabric Token SDK is a set of API and services that lets developers create token-based distributed application on Hyperledger Fabric.

We are looking forward for your feedback and we need your help to make these projects successful.

Best,
./angelo
