Development State
Corda is currently in very early development and should not be used in production systems. Breaking changes will happen on minor versions until 1.0. Experimentation with Corda is recommended.
Pull requests, experiments, and contributions are encouraged and welcomed.
Background
The project is supported by R3, a financial industry consortium, which is why it contains some code for financial use cases and why the documentation focuses on finance. The goal is to use it to construct a global ledger, simplifying finance and reducing the overheads of banking. But it is run as an open source project and the basic technology of a peer to peer decentralised database may be useful for many different projects.
