The IBM Blockchain Platform was a short-term funding and technology project involving the Hedera blockchain network. While this specific project has evolved into an ongoing enterprise blockchain strategy, IBM remains intrinsically involved with the Hedera network as a member of the Hedera Governing Council.
This position provides IBM with a direct voice and vote in the governance of the Hedera public network, influencing its technical roadmap, policies, and overall strategic direction. As a council member, IBM also contributes to the network's operational integrity by running a consensus node.
This engagement with Hedera allows IBM to participate, offer insights and contribute to advancements which align with its broader interests in advancing enterprise-grade distributed ledger solutions (DLT). This involvement complements IBM's extensive work with permissioned blockchains and strengthens the partnership between Hedera and the broader technology industry while providing a holistic perspective on the evolving blockchain landscape for IBM’s global enterprise clients.
