Set to Look Ahead to 2024 with Online Event Celebrating 8th Anniversary, Highlighting Market Evolution

SAN FRANCISCO (December 14, 2023) – Today, Hyperledger Foundation, the open, global ecosystem for enterprise-grade blockchain technologies, announced seven new members, Adhara, Digital Currency Forum, Launchnodes, Pairpoint, SDAX, SEIYAJ TECH and Web3 Labs. They join as Hyperledger Foundation gears up to celebrate its 8th anniversary with an event focused on the evolution of the enterprise blockchain market. In certain cultures the number 8 represents prosperity, success and status, making this a key milestone to mark for Hyperledger Foundation and its community.

The webinar, slated for January 31, will include leaders from across the community reflecting on the journey from promising tech to core infrastructure and sharing what excites them about what comes next. Topics will include the current and future state of the market, including the growing Hyperledger Besu ecosystem that many of these new members are enhancing. The discussion will also highlight work underway in Hyperledger Labs, the innovation pipeline for this community, and new Labs, such as Open Enterprise Agent, a suite of decentralized identity tools contributed by Input Output Global (IOG), and Harmonia, a connectivity initiative specifically tailored to regulated financial and blockchain networks spearheaded by R3 and Adhara.

In its second brand report, Hyperledger Foundation has again teamed with Linux Foundation Research for a qualitative and qualitative look at the Hyperledger brand and opportunities in the enterprise blockchain market. The research revealed sustained enterprise adoption and development rates that show blockchain is becoming an established core technology. A new “Hyperledger in Action” ebook compiled by the Hyperledger Supply Chain and Trade Finance Special Interest Group puts a finer point on that finding with details on more than a dozen deployments with demonstrable business benefits.

Fueling further adoption, Hyperledger Foundation also announced that InfoSys and Spydra have completed the requirements to become the newest Hyperledger Certified Service Providers (HCSP). There are now a total of 19 HCSPs that have the documented expertise to provide support, consulting, professional services and training for enterprise deployments of Hyperledger technology.

“We are gearing up to celebrate our prosperous 8th anniversary, and, as our new members show, the market for enterprise blockchain technologies is only getting more diverse and interesting,” said Daniela Barbosa, Executive Director, Hyperledger Foundation, and General Manager, Blockchain and Identity, at the Linux Foundation. “Our projects are powering production deployments across industries and around the world while our Labs are fostering the next wave of tools that will drive interoperability, tooling, performance and a host of future applications we haven’t conceived of yet. We are just starting up the innovation curve on so many fronts, including tokenization, digital identity, climate solutions and CBDCs.”

Through support from its members, Hyperledger Foundation fosters the development and deployment of enterprise-grade, industry-specific applications, services and solutions built on open source enterprise blockchain and related technologies. Companies joining the General Member community are Adhara, Launchnodes, Pairpoint, SDAX, SEIYAJ TECH and Web3 Labs.
