Hyperledger Meetup 2020 Belarus: Top Insights & Takeaways

PixelPlex, with the support of Linux Foundation, hosted Belarus' first-ever Hyperledger Meetup. We focused on the Hyperledger framework benefits for business and ways to deal with legal implications.

Belarus’ first official Hyperledger Meetup, kicked-off on February 6th, 2020 by PixelPlex, turned out to be truly jam-packed: engaging demos, fascinating conversations, unconventional ideas, interactive panel discussion, and lots of honest and valuable feedback.

PixelPlex dedicated the event to the most widely used Hyperledger framework, Fabric, revealed all its benefits for business and discussed the ever-growing interest in blockchain development among the local blockchain community, B2B players, and legal service providers.

About Hyperledger

Hyperledger is an open-source collaboration launched in December 2015 by the Linux Foundation to advance cross-industry blockchain adoption. ‘Hyperledger’ is the name for a group of private blockchain frameworks used in banking, supply chain, manufacturing, finance, and many other industries for consolidating and securing data streams.

Unlike public blockchains, the Hyperledger Fabric addresses the most critical privacy issues worrying companies and businesses that must comply with stringent regulatory requirements.

PixelPlex Latest Hyperledger Project

As a viable model of how the Fabric network works in document notarization, we demonstrated our latest Hyperledger-based project, DocFlow. Our short demo illustrated the way how the solution cuts out the need for the physical presence of parties for issuing and withdrawing powers of attorney, how it simplifies the Proof of Authority (PoA) issuance and eliminates server infrastructure failures.

Here at PixelPlex we believe in the knowledge sharing power and give everyone the opportunity to think outside the box.

We’d like to thank everyone who joined us to discover the latest trends in Hyperledger blockchain development. See you on our next adventure!
