The nomination period, which begins tomorrow, lasts through August 16, according to materials circulated on the Hyperledger mailing list, with voting commencing the following day. The voting period ends on August 23, and the results will be announced the day after.
Nominations will then be collected for the committee chair starting on August 24, and voting taking is set to take place between August 31 and September 6. The final results will be published the next day.
The steering committee election comes roughly a month after the project’s first major software release. As CoinDesk previously reported, the first production-ready version of Hyperledger Fabric was released on July 11.
To date, more than 140 companies have joined the Hyperledger project. Of those, members like Fujitsu have moved to begin creating commercial products with the open-source tech developed by the group.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
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.
