Hedera donates full codebase to Linux Foundation

Hedera, a decentralized public network, announced that it has become a founding premier member of the Linux Foundation’s newly launched decentralized trust initiative.
The decentralized network contributed its entire source code, including its hashgraph consensus algorithm and all core services, tools and libraries, to the Linux Foundation.
Hedera’s contribution, which forms the new project “Hiero,” aims to allow developers to collaborate on decentralized trust technologies globally under an open-source and inclusive framework.

Hedera joins the DeRec Alliance
On Sept. 5, Hedera and Cardano’s development arm, Input Output (IOHK), became the
final founding members of the Decentralized Recovery Alliance (DeRec Alliance).
The two final members will serve on the Technical Oversight Committee for the next two years, helping shape policies and standards that simplify user experience and facilitate crypto recovery.
Leemon Baird, chief scientist at Hashgrapha and co-founder of DeRec, told Cointelegraph that it was “great to see the industry coming together” to address a “critical need for a safety net.”
