Hyperledger fabric: a distributed operating system for permissioned blockchains (2018, background): “…ledger platforms in the permissioned model have come out recently, which makes it impossible to compare to all (some prominent ones are Tendermint [5], Quorum [19], Chain Core [12], Multi-chain ( https://www.multichain.com/ ), Hyperledger Sawtooth ( https://sawtooth.hyperledger.org ), the Volt…”
OmniLedger: A Secure, Scale-Out, Decentralized Ledger via Sharding (2018, methodology): “To reduce the storage and bootstrapping costs for validators (whose shard assignments might change periodically), we introduce state blocks that are similar to stable checkpoints in PBFT [13] and that summarize the entire state of a shard’s ledger.”
