Welcome to the Hyperledger wiki page for the TBD challenge!
This Wiki has been developed to help you find out more about Hyperledger, its leading open-source distributed ledger frameworks, its vibrant ecosystem, publicly known CBDC projects using Hyperledger and who to reach out to in the community for support and collaboration.
What is Hyperledger?
Hyperledger is an open-source community focused on developing a suite of stable frameworks, tools, and libraries for enterprise-grade blockchain deployments. Hyperledger incubates and promotes a range of business blockchain technologies, including distributed ledger frameworks. A distributed ledger is a multi-party database with no central trusted authority. The differentiating nuance is that when transactions are processed in blocks according to the ordering of a blockchain, the result is a distributed ledger. Open-source distributed ledger frameworks hosted at Hyperledger include Hyperledger Besu, Burrow, Fabric, Indy, Iroha and Sawtooth. Learn more: www.hyperledger.org
Hyperledger Distributed Ledgers used to develop CBDCs
The following three Hyperledger DLT frameworks are recommended for developers to consider for this TBD Global CBDC challenge.
Hyperledger Besu is an Ethereum client designed to be enterprise-friendly for both public and private permissioned network use cases. It can also be ran on test networks such as Rinkeby, Ropsten, and Görli. Hyperledger Besu includes several consensus algorithms including PoW, and PoA (IBFT, IBFT 2.0, Etherhash, and Clique). Its comprehensive permissioning schemes are designed specifically for use in a consortium environment. Please visit the Besu wiki page for additional resources: Hyperledger Besu |

Hyperledger in Action for CBDCs: Sample Use cases
Hyperledger Besu
- Bank of Thailand proof-of-concept prototype for a CBDC project, by ConsenSys alongside SCG and Digital Ventures. The private-permissioned network on Hyperledger Besu was designed to meet both the functional and non-functional requirements of a retail CBDC. One of the business cases tested the use of a CBDC to simulate daily commerce, automate payments, and support procurement and financial management system called Procure-to-Pay (B2P) developed by DV.

- Bank of Australia has also partnered with ConsenSys to develop a POC for the issuance of a tokenised form of CBDC that can be used by wholesale market participants for the funding, settlement, and repayment of a tokenised syndicated loan on an Ethereum-based DLT platform. https://consensys.net/blog/press-release/reserve-bank-of-australia-partners-with-commonwealth-bank-national-australia-bank-consensys-perpetual-on-wholesale-cbdc-project/
- Fnality, in partnership with Adhara, is using Hyperledger Besu for a wholesale payments system representing USD, euro, JPY, GBP and CAD that will allow wholesale banking transactions to happen instantly, cross-border and 24/7. Watch their recent presentation to the Hyperledger Capital Markets SIG.

- Hyperledger Case Study: The National Bank of Cambodia's Project Bakong boosts financial inclusion with Hyperledger Iroha and was recognized by PwC in their Global CBDC Index as #2 Retail CBDC globally and #1 in Asia. This is the first large-scale quasi-CBDC in production and was built by Soramitsu: https://www.hyperledger.org/learn/publications/soramitsu-case-study
