Is there some more technical description somewhere? They probably do not use the Bitcoin Proof of Work technique?

  This question is explicitly obscured in the documentation: https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fabric_model.html#consensus https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fabric_m... I suspect you can plug in any consensus technique. For a private blockchain like this, you can go light because all participants are trusted not to misbehave. At that point you might ask "so why are you using a blockchain at all", but you won't rack up billable consultant hours with that sort of thinking.

  yes They didn't use BTC proof of work technique.

  I wouldn't be surprised if it was a private blockchain with access via paid subscription and thin clients that don't have to pull all of the chain to view it.

  The first paragraph mentions it's using Hyperledger's Fabric[1] blockchain implementation. I assume they're building their own smart contracts on top of that. [1] https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric

    The hyperledger equivalent of ethereum's smart contracts is called chaincode. I'm playing around with it now - so far enjoying it much more than smart contracts. https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain/learn-chaincode https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain/learn-chaincode
