The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is among eight new members who have joined the Linux Foundation’s enterprise blockchain ecosystem as associate members.
By joining the forum, the CBN “will be able to demonstrate technical leadership, collaborate and network with other players while raising awareness around their efforts in the enterprise blockchain community.”
A statement signed by Hyperledger noted that the CBN uses Hyperledger Fabric as part of its research programs and production solutions for its CBDC, the eNaira.
Other members named on the list include CasperLabs, Banque de France, Digital Identity Laboratory of Canada, and DSR Corporation.
Daniela Barbosa, Executive Director, Hyperledger Foundation, and General Manager Blockchain, Healthcare and Identity at the Linux Foundation said regarding the new members “This line-up underscores the increasingly diverse range of enterprise blockchain applications and technologies in the Hyperledger ecosystem.
“As we will see on stage here at Hyperledger Global Forum, the technology and market landscape for open source enterprise blockchain just continues to get more robust,”
“Hyperledger technologies are playing an outsized role in reshaping existing markets and creating new ones. Our newest members are bringing a diversity of innovation into the Hyperledger community, accelerating the development of open, decentralized technologies that will be the infrastructure for many generations of new services and applications.”
Hyperledger Foundation allows organizations to create enterprise-grade, industry-specific applications, platforms, and hardware systems to support their individual business transactions by offering enterprise-grade, open-source distributed ledger frameworks, libraries, and tools.
