Our review
Pros	Oracle manages provisioning, patching, backups, and infrastructure operations. Private channels support confidential transactions between network participants. Supports Fabric and Besu, with low-code chaincode development tools.	EVM-equivalent execution supports standard Solidity contracts and Ethereum tooling. Configurable settlement, data availability, fees, gas tokens and fault proofs. Self-managed or managed operations with compliance controls for permissioned chains.
