The team behind the Project, led by Jim Zemlin and Brian Behlendorf,  is one of the best on the planet when it comes to strategy, organization, governance, and execution of software development in the open, often driven by members that openly compete with each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Governance.<\/strong> The Hyperledger Project is breaking new ground in the field of governance of blockchain technology development. It is focused on delivering a rich umbrella organization where a variety of distributed ledger technologies will grow and mature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Community-driven.<\/strong> It is a true community effort, with 13 Premier Members and dozens of General Members.The community entails a wealth of key committees and several incubations already, after only one year of activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cutting-edge blockchain technology.<\/strong> At Altoros we are working with use cases that pose non-trivial business and technical requirements, such as confidential transactions, latency and throughput, membership and adversary-tolerant atomic broadcasts. Technical capabilities behind the code bases of Hyperledger Project already allowed us to quickly execute on all of the requirements.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/why-altoros-joined-the-hyperledger-project\/#What_weve_done_already\" >What we&#8217;ve done already<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/why-altoros-joined-the-hyperledger-project\/#What_were_doing_now_for_the_Hyperledger_Project_and_Linux_Foundation\" >What we\u2019re doing now for the Hyperledger Project and Linux Foundation<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/why-altoros-joined-the-hyperledger-project\/#What_were_doing_for_our_customers\" >What we&#8217;re doing for our customers<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_weve_done_already\"><\/span>What we&#8217;ve done already<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Altoros has been actively participating in The Hyperledger Project. Members of the Altoros team and I have been working on several committees to help propel Hyperledger forward.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve helped lay a foundation of what seems to be a better, programmable way to exchange value. Just over the past few months, we\u2019ve sponsored more than a dozen Hyperledger meetups all over the world. We\u2019ve had large and enthusiastic audiences everywhere from New York and London, to Frankfurt, to Silicon Valley and Boston! Thank you, my colleagues at Altoros and our partners at for making this happen. You are amazing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_were_doing_now_for_the_Hyperledger_Project_and_Linux_Foundation\"><\/span>What we\u2019re doing now for the Hyperledger Project and Linux Foundation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Altoros builds proofs of concepts and smart contract blueprints for financial services use cases with HyperLedger. We have already built a service for companies that wish to challenge clearinghouses, a class of intermediaries performing clearing and settlement of over the counter credit default swaps.<\/p>\n<p>We now plan to use Hyperledger to build similar services and blueprints for debt issuance and trading, syndicated loans, and reinsurance. Blockchain also has great potential in creating and securing supply chains for manufacturing and transportation companies. By working within trusted circles of suppliers and buyers, blockchain is able to deliver the next generation of efficient, secure, transparent supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>So it is critical for us to support the Hyperledger Project and the Linux Foundation, making sure the Hyperledger Project fulfills its mission. Moving forward, Altoros will continue to contribute resources and code to help the project fulfill its mission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_were_doing_for_our_customers\"><\/span>What we&#8217;re doing for our customers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At Altoros, we specialize in turning the power of projects into unfair competitive advantage for our customers.
