If i have contracts written in DAML and my other nodes on Hyperledger don’t have any DAML driver . i.e. One node have DAML Driver and another node don’t have only DLT node . How will these DLT nodes can intract?

Hi @vsh1982 , I think that question is answered in [Interaction of Fabric with Chaincode and Daml smart contract](https://discuss.daml.com/t/interaction-of-fabric-with-chaincode-and-daml-smart-contract/3585). In short: to interact with Daml contracts you should really run a Daml driver.

Thank you @bernhard . This is big dependency , If you have any contract written in DAML , then driver is needed. What benefit DAML is providing here?

Daml for Fabric over native Fabric offers an entirely different smart contract programming model with its associated properties, and development stack. Overall, our aim with Daml is to allow you to get a better application to market faster. Specifially, you get (over Fabric native)

- More productivity through higher-level smart contracts and Daml’s development tools
- Guaranteed ledger consistency through deterministic smart contracts
- Stronger privacy
- Daml’s application stack for your client applications

@bernhard Thanks for the clarification
