Hyperledger Welcomes 13 New Members
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28, 2018 – Hyperledger, an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies, today announced 13 new members have joined to the project. From digital identity management to estate settlement and business services to academia, the newest members represent the broadening interest and investment in blockchain technologies.
We have a front row view of enterprise blockchain’s transition from a promising technology to a strategic business approach,” said Brian Behlendorf, Executive Director, Hyperledger. “Our growing community reflects the diverse range of businesses that are embracing blockchain to improve how they and, often, their entire industry do business. The increasing adoption and application of Hyperledger, especially to power cross-segment initiatives, industry platforms and interoperability, shows the value of deploying blockchain technologies and solidifies the business case for more and more organizations. We welcome these new organizations and their contributions to the community.”
Hyperledger is a multi-project, multi-stakeholder effort that includes 10 business blockchain and distributed ledger technologies. A full breakdown of these projects are available in the new white paper An Introduction to Hyperledger, a comprehensive overview of why Hyperledger was created, how it is governed, and what it hopes to achieve. The paper covers the basic concepts of blockchain, Hyperledger’s open source approach and design philosophy and a line-up of use cases.
Hyperledger’s goal is to enable organizations to build robust, industry-specific applications, platforms and hardware systems to support their individual business transactions by creating enterprise-grade, open source distributed ledger frameworks and code bases. The latest general members to join the community are: Bezant, Blinking, ChainNinja, China Securities Credit Investment, Datapace, Estateably, FinFabrik, Intain and SoluTech.
Hyperledger supports an open community that values contributions and participation from various entities. As such, pre-approved non-profits, open source projects and government entities can join Hyperledger at no cost as associate members. Associate members joining this month include AAIS (American Association of Insurance Services), Center for CPS & IoT (CCI) at USC Viterbi School of Engineering, Penn Blockchain Club and Yale University.
