Serpro has become part of the group of global organizations that support, as founding members, the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust.This new division of the non-profit organization Linux Foundation (LF) was created with the aim of promoting innovation and collaboration in the development and implementation of decentralized technologies and systems, such as: blockchain, ledgers, identity, cryptography and others.
LF Decentralized Trust is born with 17 projects, including Hyperledger Fabric, used in the IRS solutions operated by Serpro, such as bConnect, bCadastro and bCompartilha, the latter also applied in the National Identity Card (CIN).
