A full quarter of the Hyperledger membership is now based in China, the project’s representatives said today – a reflection of a push to encourage more stakeholders in the country to join and play an active role. According to executive director Brian Behlendorf, the growing ranks are a signal of support for open-source development of the technology.
He said in a statement:
"The growth and support across the globe is a testament to the need for an open source initiative, like Hyperledger, that accelerates the development of blockchain software and systems to reinvent industries."
In recent months, Hyperledger has launched initiatives such as a healthcare-oriented working group.
The group, overseen by the Linux Foundation, has been steadily adding members since its inception last December.
