Hyperledger recently announced the much-anticipated release of its latest project: Avalon. Avalon represents a trusted computing framework and, by extension, a leap forward in addressing the key blockchain issues of scalability and confidentiality. Before Avalon, users often addressed these issues by conducting the relevant transactions off-chain. That choice represented a trade-off where users sacrificed transparency which is gained through on-chain transaction for off-chain transactional speed and security.
