VIRTUAL HAPPY HOUR: The Hyperledger Vision and Overview

Blockchain technology is evolving at a rapid pace. While the permissionless blockchains get much of the mindshare, permissioned blockchains have been making progress quietly.
This session begins with a discussion of the new paradigm we are embarking on, and sets the stage for why blockchains are inevitable for the enterprises.
We then discuss some of the key uses cases where enterprises are implementing blockchain today, and explore what we can expect to see in the near future. By the end of the session the audience will have a good understanding of what ‘programmable trust’ means in the context of an enterprise.

Hyperledger, started in December 2015 by The Linux Foundation, is an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. It is a global collaboration, including leaders in finance, banking, Internet of Things, supply chains, manufacturing and technology and has received contributions from IBM, Intel and SAP Ariba.
Hyperledger recently announced the latest line-up of members joining its global enterprise blockchain community. Eight new organizations from markets around the world, including DB Systel GmbH, IOHK and IOVlabs, are now part of the multi-venture, multi-stakeholder effort.
Like many other organizations, in the last few months Hyperledger has pivoted to virtual community building with a new line-up of webinars, online events and networking and increased content, including a detailed case study by Chainyard and IBM Blockchain on the launch of Trust Your Supplier as a production network with 25 major corporate participants and counting. Even during this transition, the community has pushed ahead with strong member participation and ramped up activity in Hyperledger SIGs and Working Groups. Hyperledger also recently announced its 16th project, Hyperledger Cactus, a blockchain integration tool designed to allow users to securely integrate different blockchains.
