DENVER, Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DSR Corporation (DSR), a Hyperledger member and one of the primary contributors and maintainers of Hyperledger Indy, today announced the completion of the Proof-of-Concept (PoC) for the new version of Hyperledger Indy Ledger based on Hyperledger Besu (Besu). The new version reduces complexity, simplifies maintenance, enhances performance, accelerates new feature development and improves end-user experience.
"Building trust in the blockchain ecosystem is critical, and we are committed to the open source and interoperability standards of Web3," said Genie Peshkova, President of DSR Corporation. "As one of the original contributors of Hyperledger Indy we are uniquely positioned to evolve the code base, delivering new value to the users."
Indy ledger is an open-source project under the Linux Foundation's Hyperledger umbrella and is considered one of the most stable and adopted frameworks for decentralized and self-sovereign identity (SSI). The platform gives individuals, organizations and devices control over digital identities and provides a library of tools and protocols necessary to create, manage and verify digital identities in a secure and privacy-preserving manner. The new Indy Ledger is based on Besu to improve Indy, making it easier to use for end-users. Besu is an Ethereum client designed to be enterprise-friendly for both public and private permissioned network use cases.
"The objective of this initiative is to increase adoption of both Indy and Besu and is a logical bridge between the two graduated Hyperledger projects," said Alexander Shcherbakov, head of Decentralized Systems business unit in DSR. "Indy 2.0 solves real issues and use cases where a permissioned ledger is necessary for decentralized identity. We've made the new implementation compatible with the old one and have developed clear and easy-to-use migration guides for existing deployments."
DSR's decentralized systems team is a leader in the design, development and maintenance of advanced and secure distributed ledgers and self-sovereign identity technologies. Indy ledger 2.0 PoC replaces the custom consensus protocol implementation with the stable and maintained Hyperledger Besu framework. This change allows Indy Ledger to focus on SSI business logic, which will:
- Simplify maintenance of the codebase
- Streamline onboarding and implementation of new features
- Employ common market technologies, e.g., Solidity
- Significantly increase network throughput and the number of validators
- Enable migration of existing Indy deployments to the new Indy 2.0 version
- Extend supported use cases for permissionless networks such as Ethereum Main Net
- Facilitate the use of the new Indy/SSI smart contracts for existing private permissioned deployments based on Hyperledger Besu, e.g., to extend supply chain use cases
Indy 2.0 code is open-sourced and available at https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node/pull/1821.
