About Hyperledger

Hyperledger is led by the Linux Foundation. Founded in December 2015 with 30 initial members, it aims to create a super ledger that enables developers to focus on cross-industry applications, platforms and hardware systems that support business transactions and allow members to work together on user cases from multiple different industries and streamline business processes.

“Adding this great mix of new members and HCSPs is a great opening act for Hyperledger Global Forum,” said Brian Behlendorf, Executive Director, Hyperledger. “Hyperledger is powered by its diverse, global community, and this event is all about bringing Hyperledger users, developers, service providers, and enthusiasts together to reflect on what we’ve accomplished so far and, more importantly, where we can go next. The packed show agenda proves just how much we all have to share and the impact this highly engaged and active Hyperledger community is having on the growth of enterprise blockchain.”

With the continuous research, development, promotion, and popularization of commercial blockchain technology, Hyperledger has turned into a global cross-industry leading cooperation project, including finance, Internet of Things, supply chain, manufacturing, and other diverse technologies.

According to Forbes Magazine’s “Blockchain 50” list, more than half of the world’s large enterprises are deploying on platforms based on Hyperledge blockchain technology. Hyperledger has gradually become an open-source standard for blockchain technology, having a significant impact in the real world. The emergence of Hyperledger validates blockchain technology’s widespread applications & increasing adoption by mainstream enterprises.

Among its over 200 members worldwide, there are Fortune 500 companies such as Accenture, Airbus, Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group, Deutsche Börse Group, IBM, Intel, JP Morgan, Samsung, China Mobile, Huawei, Alibaba, and many other.
