- 2. Open source collaborative effort to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies Hosted by The Linux Foundation, fastest-growing project in LF history Global collaboration spanning finance, banking, IoT, supply chains, manufacturing and technology Introducing Hyperledger 2
- 3. 3 Together with the global technology community, The Linux Foundation® is solving the world’s hardest problems through open source and creating the largest shared technology investment in history. With 16 years experience providing governance structure, IT infrastructure and ecosystem development, The Linux Foundation is the umbrella organization for more than 50 open source projects accelerating open technology development and commercial adoption. Some of the game-changing initiatives hosted by The Linux Foundation include:
- 4. 4 The Linux Foundation has achieved an unbelievable feat in bringing together a community of traditionally competitive institutions. To facilitate such extensive collaboration between startups, financial and nonfinancial corporations and technology giants is an enormous win for the whole distributed ledger industry as firms look to leverage mutually beneficial code for the common good.” “ CEO, Digital Asset, Governing Board Chair, Hyperledger The Linux Foundation 2016 Annual Report – Blythe Masters
- 5. Shared Ledger Database 5 Blockchain allows multiple competing parties to securely interact with the same universal source of truth Streamlined settlement, improved liquidity, increased transparency and new products/markets Finance Unite disparate processes, increase data flow and liquidity, reduce costs and improve patient experience and outcomes Healthcare Track parts and service provenance, ensure authenticity of goods, block counterfeits, reduce conflicts Supply Chain
- 6. Hyperledger Goals 6 Where open source teams build diverse approaches for business blockchain technology systems Provide neutral, open, & community- driven infrastructures supported by technical and business governance Build technical communities to develop blockchain and shared ledger POCs, use cases, field trials and deployments Educate the public about the market opportunity for blockchain technology Promote our community of communities taking a toolkit approach with many platforms and frameworks Create enterprise grade, open source, distributed ledger frameworks & code bases to support business transactions

Hyperledger Business Blockchain Frameworks 8 For complete list of Blockchain projects in incubation, including sub-projects, visit www.Hyperledger.org/community/projects. 1 Fabric: Blockchain implementation intended as foundation for developing applications or solutions with a modular architecture that allows components, such as consensus and membership services, to be plug-and-play. Iroha: Distributed ledger project designed to be simple and easy to incorporate into infrastructural projects requiring distributed ledger technology. 2 Sawtooth Lake: Distributed ledger technology with potential in many fields, from IoT to Financials, and an architecture that recognizes the diversity of requirements across that spectrum. Support for both permissioned and permissionless deployments. 3
