Blurring the Lines between Blockchains and Database Systems: the Case of Hyperledger Fabric

Summary: Analyzes Hyperledger Fabric from a database perspective, revealing gaps in its transaction pipeline. Fabric++ adds DB ideas like reordering and early abort, boosting throughput up to 12× and cutting latency by about half on Smallbank and a custom workload. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
