Blockchain at Berkeley Has Joined Hyperledger

Blockchain at Berkeley is excited to announce that we have joined Hyperledger as an Associate Member! We welcome this partnership as a significant push towards furthering open source projects and collaborative work in the blockchain space.

The goal of Hyperledger is to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies by driving open source efforts and global collaboration. We aim to help promote this goal by contributing our resources to their initiative. As a student-led group based out of a university, we have the people and academic focus that are needed to further many projects. We hope to have our members from our Research & Development department work on different areas of interest, as well as write academic-level, publishable papers related to these projects.

Our other main arms, Consulting and Education, can also contribute to members of the Hyperledger ecosystem. In terms of consulting, we can help devise new enterprise blockchain use-cases and explore using Hyperledger frameworks for developing proof-of-concepts. As for education, the two for-credit courses we offer at UC Berkeley are on our website and free for anyone to access.

We also have plans for future education initiatives to promote a better understanding of the blockchain space. In addition to contributing to projects, we hope to help foster a community that continually gives back by providing resources to help host events such as meetups and conferences, which members of Hyperledger are more than welcome to co-host and attend. We would also like to facilitate different projects in the blockchain space by connecting people in academia and industry with other members of the Hyperledger ecosystem and vice versa.

Just as the Bitcoin network is being upheld by committed and passionate members contributing to the open-source community, we envision that this open-source community will also lead to valuable and long-lasting impacts in this and many other industries to come.

Thanks to Maaz Uddin, Head of Business Development for R&D
