Blockchain on the JVM: Will Hyperledger Keep Java Relevant?
Java has long been a dominant force in enterprise software, but blockchain development has largely favored languages like Solidity (Ethereum), Rust (Solana), and Go (Cosmos). However, JVM-based blockchains (like Hyperledger Fabric and Corda) have kept Java relevant in permissioned enterprise chains. Now, with Ethereum transitioning from EVM to WebAssembly (WASM) and competitors like Polkadot using WASM-native runtimes, will Java-based blockchains survive? …
