Hyperledger Plans Pricing
Hyperledger (now stewarded by LF Decentralized Trust under the Linux Foundation) is a free open-source ecosystem of blockchain frameworks and tools (Fabric, Besu, Indy, Iroha, Cacti, Firefly, etc). The projects themselves carry no license fee, no API consumption charges, and no per-call rate limits imposed by the foundation. Commercial offerings are sold separately by member vendors (IBM Blockchain Platform, Kaleido, Oracle Blockchain, R3, ConsenSys, etc) and are out of scope for the foundation pricing surface. Linux Foundation membership tiers fund the foundation but are not API consumption tiers.
