You may have heard that earlier this month, PegaSys contributed our Ethereum client, formerly known as Pantheon, to Hyperledger. We are excited to share that we have now completed a few critical steps of moving the codebase to under the Hyperledger umbrella.
Here’s what’s changed:
- Rename: Pantheon has officially been renamed as Hyperledger Besu.
- GitHub: We have transitioned our Pantheon GitHub repo to Hyperledger’s repo. You can now find it at https://github.com/hyperledger/besu
- RocketChat: We will be using RocketChat for our community conversations about Hyperledger Besu moving forward, but we will leave our Gitter open for a transition period as well. You can find us at chat.hyperledger.org on the #besu or #besu-contributor channel. Please note you will need to sign up for a Linux Foundation ID to begin to participate in Rocketchat.
- Documentation: Hyperledger Besu documentation will soon be found at besu.hyperledger.org. We will have a redirect set-up at our current documentation link as well.
As always, don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. We’ll be sharing a big new product announcement coming in October, and will be participating in several large events in the coming months as well. Stay tuned!
