Code & Projects

Our most recent Blockchain Pioneer blog post takes a look at Hyperledger Explorer, a project that focused on providing an intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface for users to view blockchain data. Learn more about what the project was, why it has been archived and what its legacy is and how it drove innovation in the community.

Noteworthy Pull Requests

With the latest updates in Web3j, the project now supports full integration of Linea RPC APIs, enabling developers to seamlessly interact with the Linea network using Java and Kotlin. Linea is a Layer 2 solution built on Ethereum that leverages zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) to provide fast, cost-efficient transactions. Check out the blog post to see some sample code and learn more.
