With hyperledger, Vanig can choose the consensus protocol of choice, at runtime and not have to compromise speed and capacity, as with proof-of-work blockchains.
I honestly think things like hyperleger and proof of stake are the future of crypto, proof of work was a nice concept, but the fact is it was supposed to stop the rich from controlling the market ( a concern people have for proof of stake) but when you've got companies that corner the market on ASICs proof of work is very possible to get 51 attacked until it gets massive like bitcoin and outscales even those companies to an extent.
I'd imagine that any company looking for their own chain like vanig would look towards something sustainable and environmentally conscious, i dont think anyone early on saw the huge impact mining was going to have today.
