Hyperledger Iroha is a project written in C++ and contributed to by Sorimitsu. The goals of the project were to provide a portable C++ based blockchain implementation that could be used in mobile devices. Both iOS and Android operating systems, along with small computers such as Raspberry Pi, are all capable of efficiently running tightly written C++ code efficiently. To make things even easier, Iroha provides iOS, Android, and JavaScript libraries for developers.

One major difference from Ethereum, in particular, is that Hyperledger Iroha allows users to perform common functions, such as creating and transferring digital assets, by using prebuilt commands that are in the system. This negates the need to write cumbersome and hard-to-test smart contracts for the most common functionalities, enabling developers to complete simple tasks faster and with less risk. For instance, to create a new token type on Iroha, it takes just a single command—crt_ast. To make things even easier, Iroha has a command-line interface that will guide a new user through creating the asset, without writing code at all.

If the goals of Sawtooth and Fabric are completeness, Iroha is oriented more towards ease of use and device compatibility.
