LF Decentralized Trust

In the latest installment of our Blockchain Pioneers series, we reflect on the story of Hyperledger Avalon, a project that transformed how privacy is approached in blockchain systems. Proposed in 2019, Hyperledger Avalon brought together leaders including Intel Corporation, Chainlink, Baidu, and IBM. The goal? To push the boundaries of blockchain by introducing trusted computing, enabling off-chain execution to deliver enhanced privacy, scalability, and throughput—setting the stage for secure and efficient ecosystems that enterprises rely on today. Find out how the project revolutionized trusted compute frameworks, redefined blockchain capabilities through off-chain trust, and showcased the power of collaboration in an open source community. 🔗 Read on here: https://lnkd.in/em7FiGNX ✨ Which blockchain project do you think has left the biggest impact on decentralized technologies?

At Singapore FinTech Festival 2024, Julio Faura (Adhara), Anthony Woolley and Peter Munnings (Ownera) shared how decentralized Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs) are transforming digital finance. 🎥: https://hubs.la/Q030fXm80 Combining Adhara’s digital cash solutions with Ownera’s MP2P routing technology, their partnership tackles challenges like scalability, interoperability and instant settlement. The result? 24/7 peer-to-peer settlement supporting use cases like instant Delivery versus Payment (DVP) and intraday repo—building a more efficient and connected financial ecosystem. #lfdecentralizedtrust #ssf2024 #opensource #interoperability

At Singapore FinTech Festival 2024 Javier Garcia Nonay (Kaleido) introduced the Guardian Wholesale Network (GWN) and announced Paladin, a new privacy framework for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This project demonstrates composable finance and privacy utilizing Besu, Firefly and Paladin. During his talk, Javier highlighted Kaleido’s role in enterprise blockchain innovation, including open source scalability and real-world applications like SWIFT’s CBDC pilots. These efforts demonstrate Kaleido’s focus on delivering flexible and privacy-focused solutions for enterprise use cases. 🔗 Watch the full presentation here: https://hubs.la/Q0302SvZ0 #lfdecentralizedtrust #ssf24 #blockchain #opensource

Check out Karen L. Ottoni's contributions to the Digital Euro Association's latest report, "Exploring Open Source in CBDC Development." This comprehensive study illuminates how open source software (OSS) offers central banks unparalleled opportunities for transparency, collaboration, and innovation while addressing critical challenges like security and governance. Learnings from the Report: Transparency: How OSS fosters trust in financial systems. Collaboration: Success stories of OSS in cross-border payment systems. Security: Proven practices for quantum-resistant CBDCs. Governance: Models that balance openness with control for central banks. Karen L. Ottoni, Senior Director of Ecosystem and Strategic Initiatives at LF Decentralized Trust helps central banks understand how membership enables direct access to open source expertise, community-driven innovation, and global collaboration—critical for developing resilient, secure, and inclusive CBDC systems. 📖 Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/gUrb4ejV #opensource #cbdc #defi
