How is our mentorship program strengthening Hyperledger Fabric and open source tools? Through the LF Decentralized Trust Mentorship Program, Claudia Emmanuel developed a VS Code Debugger Plugin that gives developers real-time insight into Hyperledger Fabric chaincode execution. The result: a more efficient, transparent way to build and debug smart contracts—reducing friction for Fabric developers and contributing to the long-term sustainability of open source tooling. This is just one example of how mentorship accelerates real-world contributions to critical infrastructure projects.
