As reported last month, R3 has just completed the first two of three tranches of our Series A funding round, raising $107m to fund the development of Corda, our distributed ledger platform designed from the ground up for the needs of commerce. 

It means all those people waiting for a technology that is fit for purpose now have certainty: Corda is here for the long-term and you can adopt it with confidence.

In this post, I announce our first public beta of Corda - and share some thoughts on an exciting announcement from our newest partner, HP Enterprise. Bottom line: if you haven’t already started building on Corda, now is the time to start.

News on the beta in a moment but first some exciting news from our partners at HPE, who this week demonstrated Corda running on their HPE Integrity NonStop Platform. You can read more about the announcement here. This is a big deal: our vision for Corda is that companies use it to record, manage and automate the contracts and other agreements they have with their trading partners and counterparts. That is a broad vision and entails deep integration with core systems. Proving deployment of Corda on HPE’s NonStop platform, on which so many of the world’s most trusted companies run their most important applications, is a major step forward.
