Project Hiero will oversee and advance the creation of diverse dApps and technologies, including tools like digital wallets, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and advanced cryptographic solutions.

Key Notes

  • Hedera is now a founding Premier Member of the Linux Foundation's LF Decentralized Trust.
  • Hiero, a new project under LF Decentralized Trust, will focus on developing decentralized applications and technologies.
  • The Linux Foundation will manage Hiero's codebase, while the Hedera Council will maintain operational control of the Hedera network.

Hedera, a decentralized network, has recently announced its role as a founding Premier Member of the Linux Foundation’s new Decentralized Trust initiative.

This partnership highlights Hedera’s dedication to advancing open-source technology and decentralized governance.

Hedera’s Significant Contribution

According to the press release, Hedera has contributed its entire source code, including its hashgraph consensus algorithm, core services, and related tools, to the Linux Foundation. This contribution will be overseen through a new initiative called Hiero. Hiero aims to foster the creation of diverse decentralized applications (dApps) and technologies by providing an open-source development environment.

Daniela Barbosa, General Manager of Decentralized Technologies at the Linux Foundation, emphasized the importance of Hedera’s involvement. “Hedera’s role as a premier member is crucial for creating a neutral platform for decentralized trust technologies,” Barbosa stated. This initiative supports the Linux Foundation’s mission to drive innovation and maintain the stability of decentralized technologies.

Project Hiero: Enhancing Open Source Development

Project Hiero will oversee and advance the creation of diverse dApps and technologies, including tools like digital wallets, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and advanced cryptographic solutions. Charles Adkins, President of Hedera, will be part of the Governing Board of LF Decentralized Trust, alongside prominent figures from Accenture, DTCC, and Hitachi.

Adkins described this contribution a significant milestone for decentralized technology. He highlighted that Hiero will provide developers with improved access to resources, which could speed up the development and adoption of decentralized solutions.

Although the Linux Foundation will be in charge of the development and management of the Hiero codebase, the operational governance of the Hedera network will remain under the Hedera Council. This arrangement ensures that the network maintains its security and decentralization while leveraging the extensive resources and support provided by the Linux Foundation.

Role of LF Decentralized Trust

LF Decentralized Trust, a new umbrella project by the Linux Foundation, is designed to promote the long-term stability of decentralized systems. It provides a neutral foundation that encourages global collaboration and innovation in the development of decentralized technologies.

The Linux Foundation’s involvement ensures that projects under its wing, such as the LF Decentralized Trust, benefit from its extensive network and support, enhancing their potential for success and widespread adoption.

Hedera Recent Partnerships

Hedera’s involvement with LF Decentralized Trust complements its recent strategic partnerships. On September 5, Hedera joined the Decentralized Recovery Alliance (DeRec Alliance) alongside Input Output (IOHK), the development arm of Cardano. This partnership aims to improve user experience and facilitate crypto recovery.

Hedera’s recent initiatives highlight its commitment to advancing decentralized technologies through strategic collaborations. Beyond its pivotal role in the Linux Foundation’s Decentralized Trust and its participation in the DeRec Alliance, Hedera has been actively building alliances that reinforce its position in the blockchain space. The developments are expected to spur significant activity on the Hedera network.
