| 1 | +# What is Fabric Composer? |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +You can use Fabric Composer to easily define your business network, creating and tracking assets and performing transactions. Business networks represent an economic network made up of participants, assets, and the transactions that are performed between them. Assets are tangible or intangible goods, services, or property, and are stored in registries. Transactions are operations which may transform, create, and transfer assets or participants. Participants can interact with multiple business networks and maintain assets as they move between them using set identities. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Applications can consume the data from business networks, providing end users with simple and controlled access points to the business network. Business networks can also be integrated with existing systems to create assets, transactions, and participants based on existing data. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Fabric Composer requires and exploits the existing Hyperledger Fabric blockchain technology, using the blockchain consensus protocol to ensure that transactions are validated by business network participants. |
