Eight new members have joined Hyperledger, including several firms targeting tokenization initiatives.

Hyperledger is a consortium of firms working on open-source enterprise solutions using distributed ledger technologies (DLT). Launched in December 2015 by the Linux Foundation, the project has since received contributions from IBM, Intel, and other leading tech firms exploring blockchain applications.

Blockchain veterans among the new members, include IOHK, the company behind Cardano (ADA), IOV Labs — formerly RIF Labs — and crypto-friendly payments platform Public Mint.

Other new entrants include Japanese consulting and PR firm Binarystar, and Atomyze, a tokenization platform launched by Switzerland’s TokenTrust AG.

Moritz von Bonin, the company’s head of blockchain and DLT solutions, said the company is working on applications for distributed ledger technologies in the context of mobility services, logistics supply chains, and rail control systems.
