Maximizing the Potential of Hyperledger Besu: Kaleido's Top-Tier Support

In the evolving landscape of digital assets, tokenization, and blockchain networks, Hyperledger Besu has emerged as a protocol of choice in financial use cases. Crafted to seamlessly operate on the Ethereum network, Hyperledger Besu ensures compatibility with all Ethereum-based applications and tools. This versatility allows it to support both private and public networks, important in a world where the lines between permissioned and public applications are blurring.

Kaleido provides unmatched support for Besu-based applications and is active in the open-source community that is shaping the protocol to meet enterprise demands. Here we’ll share how our top-tier support and software model make it easier than ever for enterprises to grow applications using it.

Unmatched Expertise

First and foremost, Kaleido offers teams that want to build on Hyperledger Besu unmatched expertise and experience with the protocol. Our involvement with Besu predates even the name, contributing to its development as Pantheon, and our team is deeply involved with the Hyperledger Foundation.

We’re a Hyperledger Certified Service Provider (HCSP), meaning we’re equipped to advise on and build with Hyperledger’s full suite of open source tools. Our founding partners are active with the Hyperledger Foundation, including Sophia Lopez as a General Member representative on the Governing Board and Jim Zhang as a member of the Hyperledger Foundation Technical Oversight Committee. And we contributed Hyperledger FireFly, the industry’s first open source web3 gateway, to the community.

Now, as members of our team serve as maintainers of Hyperledger Besu, we’re doubling down our commitment. This helps us to bring our knowledge of best practices and lessons learned from many production use-cases to our customers. Being integrally involved in the development of the protocol going forward, we’re able to help the product to meet enterprise needs. It’s a commitment that aligns with our opinion that the open source tools will be transformative in the years ahead, from tokenization projects to digital currency initiatives, as blockchain pushes toward mass adoption.

High-Quality Chains

Kaleido runs thousands of chains for customers around the world. Across industries from supply chains to insurance and use cases involving digital currencies and tokenization, we have helped global leaders bring novel industry solutions to production.

Our chains are simply the best, offering high quality infrastructure with a full suite of pluggable tools on an API enabled platform, all of which are designed to radically simplify blockchain for the enterprise.

We are also the only blockchain platform that is built from the ground up to meet the needs of the enterprise. Global leaders choose Kaleido for our modern cloud scale architecture, always-up resiliency, elastic performance, and ISO 27000 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance—all backed by SLAs and 24x7 support options.

Software Model

With our Blockchain as a Software model you have the flexibility to choose where nodes in the chain run. This includes both hosted and self-hosted options.

The self-hosted option can potentially improve performance, as you co-locate the chain next to your app, while allowing companies in regulated environments to keep applications behind a DMZ. The goal of the self-hosted option is to help you meet Information Security Compliance demands and use your own servers.

We also offer enterprise extensions to help you unlock the full potential of Hyperledger Besu. These include high throughput connectors, advanced key management, a block explorer and RPC gateway, and node management sidecars.

All this is fully Dockerized, runs on Kubernetes, and allows for dynamic configuration of APIs. With single sign-on available throughout, you can integrate Hyperledger Besu with your operations and manage access easily.

Hyperledger Besu Shines in Enterprise Settings

We offer the stability and performance enterprises need. Through enterprise-grade deployments around the globe, each release of Besu that we support is rigorously tested and proven in high-scale settings.

Coupled with our tokenization platform, we're making it easier than ever for institutions to create new classes of assets and monetize them on the network of their choice to generate new revenue streams and help to shape the future of finance.
