Hyperledger is an open-source collaborative blockchain framework hosted by the Linux Foundation, designed for building enterprise-grade, permissioned distributed ledger solutions not public cryptocurrencies. Unlike public chains such as Litecoin, which operate as open, decentralized payment networks, Hyperledger provides modular tools and frameworks (like Fabric, Sawtooth, and Iroha) for private consortium networks where participants are vetted and permissions are enforced.
While Hyperledger itself does not run on or for the Litecoin platform, it can conceptually be used alongside Litecoin in hybrid blockchain architectures for example, Litecoin for public token transfers and Hyperledger Fabric for confidential enterprise workflows, supply chain tracking, identity management, or compliance layers. In short, Hyperledger focuses on enterprise blockchain automation and interoperability, whereas Litecoin focuses on fast, decentralized peer-to-peer cryptocurrency payments.
