What is Hyperledger?

The Hyperledger Foundation, which was founded in 2015, is an open ecosystem for enterprise-facing blockchain solutions. It is a venture by the Linux Foundation where developers from around the globe collaborate and contribute to open-source software.

The Foundation aims to leverage the power of distributed ledger technology (DLT) in order to make enterprises more efficient.

According to the whitepaper published by the Hyperledger foundation, it exists to “foster community development of enterprise-grade open source blockchain, distributed ledger, and related technologies, and to drive broad adoption of these technologies.”

The Hyperledger Foundation connects enterprises with similar interests that are deployed on its network and utilize its technology to support their businesses. The foundation boasts more than half of the companies named in the Forbes Blockchain 50 list as in its clientele.

According to a report published by Blockdata, Hyperledger technologies are used by more of the top 100 public companies in the world than any other blockchain platform. Big names include Accenture, IBM, VISA, and Ripple.
