- Operational support of specific DLT/MPS platforms
- Alerting
- Monitoring dashboards
- Integration into enterprise data systems
- Tools to set up chains
- End user focused projects
- Wallets
- Secret storage/vaults
- Credential storage
- Cross chain interoperability
- (But needs to provide distinct features from existing projects)
- Application support and libraries
- Tokens
- Specifically novel uses such as confidential tokens, CBDC scale, etc.
- NFTs
- Specifically novel areas, not just profile picture collections.
- White label marketplace?
- Utility frameworks for NFTs?
- UX libraries
- Developer Tools
- Compilers
- Development Frameworks
- Tokens
- Domain specific toolkits
- Supply chain (Grid already occupies some space)
- Provenance
- IP
- Exchanges (DEX or CEX)
- Low level DLT/MPS libraries
- Common consensus libraries
- "Hero" demo projects showcasing HL technologies
- ex: metaverse demo with HL DLTs such as fabric
HLF is not interested in
- Operating a specific network
- Projects may support the network but the governance of such networks must be entirely separate from HLF in inception and operation.
- Example: Ethereum Mainnet
- Hosting a specific application
- HLF may support the software for a particular project, but it will hot host the front end instance of it. Member companies should provide that service
- Example: Block Explorers
- Running and operating a formal standards process
Standards work may run in parallel to a project, but HLF is interested in the software implementation and community around the software, not the standards making process.- Projects may become de facto standards, but formal processes must run outside of HLF.
- HLF invites projects that are implementations of formal standards processes.
...
- Solang
- Solidity→WASM compiler.
- Solana, substate, ewasmWASM
- Applied for incubation in the past. Rejected for not enough maintainers, now has 3 maintainers
- Jim sees it as useful
- Positive view of tech used (LLVM, Rust, etc.)
- Perun
- Confidential state channels across DLTs
- "recursive lightning network" - bootstrap off of the trust of other people.
- Ask for a TSC presentation (Tracy to take action on this)
- Business Partner Agent
- May become an Aries subproject - needs connection
- Orion
- Centralized key/value ledger
- Did a HLF meetup
- Working on decentralization, or for use cases where decentralization is not essential
- Fabric (may not be top level, may be absorbed into fabric proper)
- Fabric Operations Console
- Fabric Operator...
- Looking to gauge interest and which one gets traction
- Also, other K8s projects
- Blockchain Carbon Accounting
- Fabric Token SDK
- (Works with Fabric and Orion)
- ...
Labs exits may want to go to being integrated into an existing project instead of becoming an incubating project.
- Example: Weaver/Cactus integration
Ways to encourage Labs projets to "Level Up"
- TSC Presentation
- Meetup Presentations
- Direct invitation to incubate
Non-Labs Projects
- Generalized Rollup Solution for multiple DLTs
- Non-ZK aggregation (optimistic rollups)
- ZK Rollup
- ZK^2 Rollup (ZK proofs with built in privacy, i.e. only sender and receiver can read, with external constraints enforced)
- Cairo (see Starkware)
- Nightfall?
- EY
- Gnark
- From Consensys
- Complementary to Ursa
- Possible Members?
- Starkware
- Polygon?

What's Hyperledger's public network story? There's an opportunity and a threat.
