🎯 FEDEX JOINS THE HEDERA COUNCIL: LOGISTICS BECOMES ON-CHAIN 🎯
FedEx has announced its entry into the Hedera Council, joining players like Google, IBM, Dell, LG, Deutsche Telekom, and Ubisoft in the governance of the network.
As a Council member, FedEx will operate a node on the Hedera network with equal voting rights, directly participating in decisions regarding software, services, and protocol updates.
The stated goal is clear: to bring global supply chains from slow and paper-based processes to digital infrastructures "at the speed of data," reducing friction, errors, and manual reconciliations.
Hedera provides a level of enterprise-grade trust, with notarization and timestamping of events throughout the entire shipping lifecycle, while maintaining control over sensitive data within FedEx environments.
This means greater transparency in tracking, shared verifications among customs, logistics partners, and customers, and a technical foundation for open standards of verifiable data in global trade.
For Hedera, this is another piece in the "real-world" narrative: after banks, telcos, and energy, now one of the largest logistics operators in the world chooses to sit at the DLT governance table.
Looking ahead, FedEx can use Hedera for use cases such as traceability, regulatory compliance, and automation of cross-border flows, strengthening the thesis of HBAR as a back-end infrastructure for the physical economy.
