Difference between Hyperledger and Ethereum:

Difference Hyperledger Ethereum
Purpose Hyperledger solely focuses on leveraging blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology for business Provide a mass audience with a decentralized platform on which they can leverage the use of smart contracts to develop distributed apps
Confidentiality No one outside the Hyperledger network can have access to the data All transactions are visible to anyone as Ethereum is a public and permissionless network
Read/Write access Read/write access depends on the permission All peers on the public network have read/write access
Consensus Mechanism It uses a pluggable consensus algorithm called Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance(PBFT) It establishes a consensus mechanism based on Proof of Work mechanism
Programming Language Most of the chain codes are written in GoLang Solidity is used for implementing smart contracts on Ethereum
Custom Tokens Chaincode is used to create custom tokens Coin API is used to create custom tokens
Transaction Cost No transaction fee Transaction fee is paid using the Ethereum gas approach, which is the necessary cost to perform a transaction on the network
Cryptocurrencies One can develop cryptocurrency or tokens in Hyperledger via chaincode, and implement them in your business logic Ethereum has an in-built currency in its blockchain network called Ether
