Amit Zavery, Oracle's SVP for cloud platforms and middleware, said in a statement:
"As we develop our blockchain cloud platform for enterprise use, we believe scalable cross-industry technologies, confidential transactions, and modular architecture promoted through initiatives like the Hyperledger Project, are critical components."
Hyperledger's newest members – the Patientory Foundation and BTS have also just joined – come amid election season for the project. Hyperledger stakeholders have just selected the newest members of its technical steering committee, with voting for the committee's new chairman beginning today.
That Oracle would look to grow its involvement in the blockchain space is perhaps unsurprising, given the interest the company has expressed toward the tech in the past. As previously reported by CoinDesk, Oracle has filed patent applications focused on the areas of governance and employee work flows.

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.
