Hyperledger blockchain project has added fourteen new organizations including Ripple and CULedger, taking the total membership count to over 230 organisations.
The open-source collaborative effort now includes 10 business blockchain and distributed ledger technologies. Earlier in January, it releases the Hyperledger Sawtooth 1.0 and recently, the Hyperledger Technical Steering Committee accepted Hyperledger Caliper, a blockchain performance benchmarking tool, into incubation. Last week, Hyperledger Fabric version 1.1.0 was released.
"Until now, CULedger's involvement in Hyperledger has been through our valued partners," said Julie Esser, Chief Engagement Officer of CULedger. "We are excited and honored to have this direct relationship with Hyperledger to help advance our global self-sovereign digital identity strategy for the more than 230 million credit union members worldwide."
"Through our partnership with Hyperledger, developers worldwide will be able to access Interledger Protocol (ILP) in Java for enterprise use," Stefan Thomas, Ripple CTO. "The Hyperledger Quilt project connects Hyperledger blockchains with other ILP-capable payment systems such as XRP Ledger, Ethereum, Bitcoin (Lightning), Litecoin, Mojaloop and RippleNet, helping us to deliver on our vision for an Internet of Value - where money moves as information does today."
In addition to Ripple and CULedger, the latest general members included Beijing Truth Technology, Blockchain Technology Partners, Greenstream Technology, KompiTech, MATRIX Foundation, REMME, Shenzhen Rongxun Technology, Spin Systems, Versia, and Xiilab Co. Associate members joining this month include Cambridge Centre For Alternative Finance (University of Cambridge) and Kerala Blockchain Academy.
