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 Global CBDC challenge.2. Suggested Distributed Ledgers to use for the Global CBDC Challenge are as follows:
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 Fabric is intended as a foundation for developing applications or solutions with a modular architecture. Hyperledger Fabric allows components, such as consensus and membership services, to be plug-and-play. Its modular and versatile design satisfies a broad range of industry use cases. It offers a unique approach to consensus that enables performance at scale while preserving privacy. |

Hyperledger Iroha is designed to be simple and easy to incorporate into infrastructural or IoT projects requiring distributed ledger technology. Hyperledger Iroha features a simple construction, modular, domain-driven C++ design, emphasis on client application development and a new, crash fault tolerant consensus algorithm, called YAC. |

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. Final report: https://www.bot.or.th/English/FinancialMarkets/ProjectInthanon/Documents/20210308_CBDC.pdf
- 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
Potential Hyperledger member companies to collaborate with by project:
Hyperledger Besu
Search for business blockchain products and services built by Hyperledger members in the Hyperledger Vendor Directory. Select Hyperledger Besu to see members who offer Hyperledger Besu services and solutions built with Besu.
Consensys have a Digital Currency Sandbox for Besu. The sandbox is running on a BESU network hosted by Consensys and Codefi Payments, the software powering the sandbox, can seamlessly be deployed on other BESU networks.
The API documentation is available here: https://docs.api.codefi.network/digital-currency
(Please note that they will release a new version on July 20th to make it easier to read and use.)
Hyperledger Fabric
The Hyperledger Certified Service Provider (HCSP) program is a pre-qualified tier of vetted service providers who have deep experience helping enterprises successfully adopt Hyperledger. The HCSP partners offer Hyperledger support, consulting, professional services and training for organizations embarking on their Hyperledger journey. Currently 24 Hyperledger Fabric HCSPs are available to work with. Learn more: https://www.hyperledger.org/use/hcsp
Hyperledger Iroha
Search for business blockchain products and services built by Hyperledger members in the Hyperledger Vendor Directory. Select Hyperledger Iroha to see members who offer Hyperledger Iroha services and solutions built with Iroha.
Hyperledger Capital Markets SIG (Special Interest Group)
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are industry specific groups of community members working together to help drive adoption of Hyperledger. All of these groups are open, so feel free to get involved with anything that looks interesting. You can also add all Special Interest Group calls to your calendar to find out about upcoming meetings. Learn more about Special Interest Groups.
The Capital Markets Special Interest Group (CMSIG) represents industry professionals working together to study how Hyperledger DLTs interact with Capital Markets use cases. These use cases cover issuance and trading of traditional and digital instruments to continued market-making, management of risk, program-trading, regulations, capital requirements, traceability, post trade settlement, custody including corporate actions and more. This group also explores architecture, standards, regulations, identity and performance related considerations specific to Capital Markets and DLTs.
