Blockchain technology enables the daily exchange of millions of dollars in transactions on the Bitcoin network without a centralized control system. But decentralized currency exchange is only one application of blockchain technology. It has shown potential to revolutionize how established businesses handle everything from international trade to legal contract automation. Many industry partners have united behind the Linux Foundation Hyperledger project (https://www.hyperledger.org/), which is an open source code base that will provide the basis for development of next generation applications and systems built specifically for the blockchain. Meeta will discuss industry applications of blockchain and the Hyperledger project. She will also cover the current state of the project and how to get started with contributing to the project or building your next blockchain application with Hyperledger.
