Hyperledger Fabric
The Hyperledger Fabric v3.0.0-beta has been released. The major feature in v3.0.0 is the Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) ordering service based on the SmartBFT consensus library. Hyperledger Fabric has utilized a Raft crash fault tolerant (CFT) ordering service since version v1.4.1. While the Raft CFT ordering service will continue to be available, a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) ordering service can withstand not only crash failures, but also a subset of nodes behaving maliciously. Consider using the BFT orderer if true decentralization is required, where up to and not including a third of the parties running the orderers may not be trusted due to malicious intent or being compromised. For more about what's in the beta release, check out the note on the Fabric list.
Hyperledger Iroha
The Hyperledger Iroha project is putting out a call for contributors. Iroha is a straightforward distributed ledger technology (DLT), inspired by Japanese Kaizen principle — eliminate excessiveness (muri) and it is being used in a production central bank digital payment system. If you're interested in the opportunity, check out the Iroha Tutorial to get familiar with what it does and then pick up a good first issue to start contributing.
