I read a very interesting message in my Twitter feed today, I don't want to withhold it from you:
What is the Hyperledger project about?The first paragraph of the Hyperledger Wikipedia (yes, I know, you shouldn't quote Wikipedia
) page summarizes the purpose of the project very well in my opinion:
Hyperledger (or the Hyperledger project) is an umbrella project of open source blockchains and related tools, started in December 2015 by the Linux Foundation, and has received contributions from IBM, Intel and SAP Ariba, to support the collaborative development of blockchain-based distributed ledgers.
SourceThe project involves major players from the financial, technology and consulting industries such as Intel, Red Hat, Deutsche Börse Group, J.P. Morgan and Accenture. So I think it is an important step for Cardano to gain acceptance and increase awareness of itself.
