Hadera has contributed the entire code base to the Linux Foundation.
Headera, a decentralized public network, has announced that it is a core member of the Linux Foundation's newly launched Decentralized Trust Initiative.
The decentralized network has contributed its entire source code to the Linux Foundation, including the hashgraph consensus algorithm and all core services, tools, and libraries.
Hedera's contribution to the creation of the new project “Hiero” is to allow developers to collaborate on decentralized trust technologies globally in an open source and inclusive framework.

Headera's decision to move its entire codebase to the LF Decentralized Trust Initiative represents a major shift toward decentralization.
Daniela Barbosa, GM of Decentralized Technologies at the Linux Foundation and Executive Director of the LF Decentralized Trust, told Cointelegraph that open source development is “essential to decentralized technologies.
“At LF Decentralization, we believe that open source, combined with open development and open governance, as part of an independent foundation, will be the future of decentralized technologies applied to enterprises, governments, and application ecosystems.”

Implications for developers
Hedera President Charles Adkins explained to Cointelegraph that the open source model is expected to benefit developers by enhancing collaboration and interoperability.
“Contributing the Hedera codebase to Hiero under the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust gives developers a more open collaborative environment.”
Adkins says this development will allow developers from different ecosystems to more easily engage with Hadera technology, accelerating innovation and adoption.

Hedera joins Derrick's Alliance.
On September 5, Hedera and Cardano's development arm, Input Output (IOHK) became the final founding members of the DeRec Alliance.
The two finalists will serve on the Technical Oversight Committee for the next two years, formulating policies and standards that simplify the user experience and facilitate crypto recovery.
Lemon Baird, chief scientist at Hashgrapha and co-founder of Derek, told Cointelegraph that “it's great to see the industry come together” to address the “crucial need for a safety net.”
