Amidst the fanfare of the release of R3’s Corda distributed ledger code, another milestone slipped by almost unnoticed – Hyperledger surpassed 100 members.
On its own, the news isn’t that important – 100 is, after all, just a number. But combine the two reports, and you unearth a development that could define the future of blockchain.
Hyperledger was created a year ago as a unifying “umbrella” for enterprise blockchain open-source development. Among the participants are blockchain companies (including R3), financial institutions and tech giants.
