The Hyperledger Mentorship Program is a structured hands-on learning opportunity for new developers who may otherwise lack the opportunity to gain exposure to Hyperledger open source development and entry to the technical community. These Mentorship Spotlights highlight the work done by the Mentors and the Mentees as part of their program participation. Learn more here.

“The mentorship program at Hyperledger opened my pathway to open source contributions and showed me some of the most exciting applications of blockchain. I love the very process of learning a framework used by the industry and helping to design and code new features. Another cool thing about open source contribution is the freedom that you can work anywhere, communicating and pair-programming with your mentor and collaborators over the screen. The most exciting thing is that I gained experience in working with the open source community and turning my coding passion into real impact, which school projects can hardly match.”

“The mentorship program is a great opportunity for students to learn and contribute to the project and Hyperledger community. I was a mentee three years ago, and I have been working on the Fabric Python SDK since then. The developers from the Python community will be able to use the Fabric SDK more conveniently with the support of decentralized governance for smart contracts. The management of the new chaincode lifecycle has been implemented thanks to Kiv. I am happy to help Kiv learn more about Hyperledger Fabric and the Python SDK, and I hope we can continue to work on adding more features to the project.”
