What is Hyperledger Indy
Hyperledger Indy is one of the blockchain projects carried out by the Hyperledger platform powered by the Linux Foundation. It’s mainly a collection of projects made for decentralized identity and also a privatized distributed ledger. Hyperledger Indy is the latest tech that got a promotion from incubation to active status. Moreover, with Hyperledger Indy, users can create digital identities with the help of a special library provided by indy that can be used as a key to access the private indy blockchain.
Moreover, the Hyperledger Indy architecture is providing extensive tools, with the latest library support. The best part is that each identity is made up of Hyperledger Indy architecture as well as its artefacts and it is cross-operational across multiple platforms and applications.
Thus, it means that the users alone can access the indy blockchain with a ban on trespassers on a particular account.
