Hyperledger Releases Beta Version of Fabric Blockchain
One of the main blockchain initiatives within the Linux Foundation-led Hyperledger project has passed a key development milestone.

One of the main blockchain initiatives within the Linux Foundation-led Hyperledger project has passed a key development milestone.
In a recent tweet, IBM's Open Technology CTO Chris Ferris, who also serves as chair of the project's technical steering committee, said Hyperledger has released the v1.0.0 beta of its Fabric blockchain platform for testing.
The beta version comes nearly a month after the previous second alpha phase of the project was announced, and paves the way for a more mature and stable platform upon which business applications can be built.
According to the release notes, over 200 changes have been made in the log since the last release including "bug fixes, documentation and test coverage improvements, and UX improvements".
Other updates include the implementation of the 'keep-alive' feature for better resiliency. A new tool called 'configtxlator' has also been added to "enable users to translate the contents of a channel configuration transaction into a human readable form".
A Chinese technical blogger, named Zeng Yi and based in Beijing, has already detailed the deployment process and claimed a successful testing result using the new beta.
Launched in early 2016 with the backing of tech giants like IBM (which contributed a significant portion of the initial Fabric code) and banks such as JPMorgan, the Hyperledger project has since grown to include more than 100 corporate and startup members.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
Lo que debes saber:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
