NOTE: All Associate members need to be pre-qualified before applying to be a member on our join portal. Please read below for information on how to qualify for Associate membership. If you are an Individual and not leading an organization who wants to contribute as a formal entity, you can contribute as an individual only.
As an open collaboration we welcome Non-Profit Organizations, Government, Educational and Research Institutions and any Public Sector Representatives/Governments. To formalize such collaboration we have created an Associate Membership Tier. Unlike for private corporate sector General and Premier Members, for Associate members, no membership fee structure is imposed on pre-qualified public sector members; however, all members will be expected and required to participate in applicable ways through the contribution of human capital, intellectual property, and/or goodwillas contributors to the Hyperledger Foundation.
Hyperledger Foundation expects Associate Members to contribute in form of research, code development, documentation, collaboration with Working Special Interest Groups, Taskforces, etc. We believe that the variety of cultures, experiences and backgrounds can help grow the Hyperledger ecosystem.
