Philosophy
Elevator Pitch
Enterprise enabling software for Distributed Ledger Technology and Multi-Party Systems and the Frameworks, Tools, and Libraries that support and enable those systems.
Policy Change
Allow projects that are explicitly single platform. These projects need to cover features and capabilities that should not be included in the core of the platform they are servicing.
Examples:
- Subject matter specific extensions
- Optional Tooling and Services such as block explorers
- Frameworks to build dApps on the platform
Projects and Themes
- Operation 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
- NFTs
- UX libraries
- Domain Specific Toolkits
- Supply Chain (Grid already occupies some space)
- Provenance
- IP
- Exchange, DEX or CEX
- Low Level DLT/MPS Libraries
- Common Consensus Libraries
HLF is not interested in
- Operating a specific public 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 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.
Labs Projects
- Solang
- Solidity→WASM compiler.

Elephant in the room
What's Hyperledger's public network story? There's an opportunity and a threat.
- Ethereum
- CosmWasm (Cosmos, Terra, Internet Computer)
- Solana
- Polkadot
