 4. New Projects And Project Updates

Neferti is a proposal for a project in Hyperledger labs. Re: NEFERTI
Hyperledger labs is an open source code community with a low barrier to entry. Any and all are welcome to join and contribute to the lab. The lab maintainers will be the governors. neferti plans a low-code and highly secure implementation to issue and trade NFTs, in a protocol agnostic way. neferti code will address market place utilities for issuance and trading of NFTs. neferti implementation will allow for extensibility and openness. An initial reference Hyperledger Fabric implementation is planned.

Reducing Methane Leakage and Flaring through Supply Chain Tokens-While the world tries to avert the worst of climate change, most scenarios still show the oil and gas industry remaining a significant part of the global energy system for several decades to come.  During this transition, however, we must do everything possible to reduce the climate impact from continued use of fossil fuels. 

A top priority is to reduce the amount of methane that is leaked and flared during the production of oil and natural gas. Methane trapped in the geological formations of oil and gas wells is often disposed of as a safety measure, but also leaked or vented to the atmosphere when infrastructure is not available to gather, process and distribute it as natural gas for a profit. This is typical in remote and undeveloped areas (the highest rates are observed in Africa, Figure 1) where methane is burned (flared) and converted into Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), or worse, vented or leaked. 

Hyperledger Aries Quarterly Highlights: 

• Aries React Native mobile wallets are being deployed by various groups into the App Stores
• New repo "aries-mediator-service" created that can be used by mobile wallet providers as an Aries Mediator to enable communication between the mobile wallet and all other Aries agent

Hyperledger Fabric Quarterly Highlights: 

• The project is working on a v2.5.0 release with a feature to Purge the history of private data. The feature may help organizations meet GDPR requirements with the ability to delete private data while preserving a hash of the data on the blockchain.
• v2.5.0 is expected to be the next Long Term Support (LTS) version of Hyperledger Fabric
• Discussion about a future Fabric v3.0 release was kicked off in January

5.  TASK Force:

 Hyperledger Security Process Task Force.:  Recurring meetings for the task force starting 28th January 2022, 8:00 AM PDT. A meeting invite will be sent to both the TSC and the maintainers mailing lists.
The upcoming meeting and the agenda details can be found at https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/TF/2022-01-28+Meeting+Minutes All ideas are welcome, do read through the CVSS calculation matrix.

Hyperledger Challenge Overview

The Hyperledger community is launching the Hyperledger Challenge to harness the power of communities to ideate, develop, and launch innovative solutions developed using open-source technologies. Any innovation that advances the current state-of-the-art of enterprise-grade distributed ledger technologies leveraging one or more Hyperledger projects is eligible for the Hyperledger Challenge.   The Hyperledger Challenge 2022 Kick Off Informational Session, was hosted on Thursday, February 24, 2022.

The Challenge will feature three rounds, called “Ideate”, “Prototype”, and “Launch”, to develop innovations from idea to sustainable solutions in the manner of months. Innovators competing in the challenges will have access to training, mentors and the Hyperledger community to support the development of their solution. The Hyperledger community is committed to be a driving force to incorporating Diversity, Civility, and Inclusion into programs. Innovators are greatly encouraged to consider diversity and inclusion when developing their teams.
