Hyperledger’s Iroha project is built on the work completed in the Fabric project. It’s meant to complement Fabric, Sawtooth, and the other projects under Hyperledger. Hyperledger added the Iroha project because the other projects didn’t have any infrastructure projects written in C++. Not having a C++ project severely limited how many people could benefit from the work on Hyperledger and the number of developers who could contribute to the project.

Besides, most blockchain development at this point has been at the lowest infrastructure level, and there has been little to no development work on user interaction or mobile applications. Hyperledger believes that Iroha is necessary for the popularization of blockchain technology. This project fills the gap in the market by bringing in more developers and providing libraries for mobile user interface development.

Iroha’s iOS, Android, and JavaScript libraries provide supportive functions like digitally signing transactions. It’s handy for commercial app development, and it adds new layers of security and business models that are only possible with blockchain technology.
