Key points
- Hyperledger Foundation has expanded from one main project (Fabric) in 2016 to 16 diverse projects addressing enterprise blockchain and digital identity needs.
- Open source governance with decentralized development practices is critical for blockchain projects, distinguishing true open development from simply licensing code openly.
- Enterprises can build proprietary applications and profitable businesses on top of open source code bases without requiring closed source infrastructure.
- The Linux Foundation hosts approximately 800 open source projects with over 17,000 contributing organizations and 800,000 developers across all initiatives.
- The Open Wallet Foundation was recently launched to create digital wallet infrastructure critical for web3 adoption and both digital and offline access.
In their own words
“FTX had nothing to do with technology. It's pure fraud and bad business, which happens across any industry.”
“You don't want to build that with proprietary code that is going to be beholden to one vendor or one vendor community.”
