At the recently held Sibos 2019 event in London,
Hyperledger took the opportunity to highlight 20 case studies highlighting the
usage of enterprise blockchain in the financial sector, as well as welcome
ConsenSys as a premier member of the alliance.
The Linux Foundation-hosted open source collaborative
effort also introduced its Capital Markets Special Interest Group (SIG) to
encourage further collaboration and adoption of the technology in the market.
Additionally, Hyperledger made two announcements at
the event. The first was joining of five more members to its global community
and the second was the approval of its 15th project: Hyperledger Besu, which is
the first public chain compatible blockchain project in the Hyperledger
greenhouse.
ConsenSys is the latest premier member to join
Hyperledger, whereas companies like Ankr, Avanza Innovations and Chengtay
Infotech joined as general members. Moreover, Collegium Da Vinci – a Polish
private university – joined as one of the associate members in this month.
In
June, Hyperledger welcomed Microsoft and Salesforce as its new members,
whereas other names like Russian metal company Norilsk Nickel (Nornickel),
Polish agricultural tech solutions developer Gloscad, and American SCM tech
solutions developer Milligan Partners, also signed up. China Academy of
Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), the Ethereum Foundation, and
