Dears,
The time has come, Crypto@Cracow is back with a two-day event for you:)
We have an enormous pleasure to invite you to the Hyperledger@Cracow Open Lecture by Marta Piekarska. The event will take place in the Orange Office Park Conference Room, Stanislawa Klimeckiego 1 street at 19:00 CET, on the 23.11.2017. Say hi to our new venue!
Marta is going to cover the history, recent development, and future of one of the biggest blockchain consortiums in the world. Hyperledger, led by the Linux Foundation, is an umbrella project of open source blockchains and related tools, started in December 2015 as an effect of hackathons, to support the collaborative development of blockchain-based distributed ledgers. It is an enterprise blockchain in production, a real early adopter.
It is our privilege to host Marta at Crypto@Cracow.
During her presentation, Marta will discuss topics like
- How was The Hyperledger Consortium created?
- How can you access the Hyperledger and what are the differences between a member type (gold, silver, etc.)
- What are benefits of becoming a member?
- What is the most significant Hyperledger’s blockchain implementation so far? What are the measurable pros of the solution?
- What are the biggest challenges ahead of the Hyperledger Consortium
and much more!
