Fabric There are several steps that are involved in a transaction flow in Hyperledger Fabric.
From Initiation to Immutable Confirmation (Part 2)
This is the first step where a transaction is proposed by the clients and sent to endorsing peers on the distributed ledger network.
All clients need to be enrolled via membership services before they can propose transactions.
The transaction is simulated by endorsers which generates a read-write (RW) set.
This is achieved by executing the chaincode but instead of updating the ledger, only a read-write set depicting any reads or updates to the ledger is created.
Submission of endorsed transactions and read-write (RW) sets to the ordering service by the application.
The ordering service assembles all endorsed transactions and read-write sets in order into a block, and sorts them by channel ID.
Why This Matters for Blockchain Technology
Ordering service broadcasts the assembled block to all committing peers.
Finally, notification of success or failure of the transaction by committing peers is sent back to the clients/applications.
The following diagram represents the above-mentioned steps and Fabric architecture from transaction flow point of view:

Conclusion
The transaction life cycle in Hyperledger represents one of the many innovative layers that make blockchain technology so powerful and transformative. As distributed systems continue to evolve, a solid understanding of these core concepts becomes increasingly valuable — not just for developers, but for anyone building, investing in, or working alongside blockchain-powered systems.
Whether you are just starting your blockchain journey or deepening existing expertise, mastering these fundamentals gives you the tools to think clearly about decentralized systems and make smarter decisions in this rapidly evolving space.
