In July 2017, the collaborative rolled out its first production-ready blockchain code, Hyperledger Fabric 1.0.
Two of Hyperledger’s new members, CAREiQ and Ehave, bring healthcare industry perspectives to the collaborative.

The 13 members brings Hyperledger’s membership count to more than 230 organizations, including representatives from the finance, healthcare and aeronautics industries.
