Web3Quorum - A web3py extension that supports Quorum APIs: Raft and Istanbul.

Interoperability

Cordage - Cordage makes the interoperability possible from Corda to Quorum and Hyperledger Besu by providing several modules that propagate, pull and verify information between Blockchains without further trusted third party.
Wanchain - Wanchain Trust Bridge currently provides a reference implementation to connect Wanchain to a private blockchain built with Hyperledger Besu originally from Consensys.

Tools

Cakeshop - Set of tools and APIs for working with Ethereum-like ledgers, packaged as a Java web application archive
Quorum Remix - Quorum plugin for Ethereum's Remix IDE adds support for creating and interacting with private contracts on a Quorum network
Quorum reporting - Tool that indexes blocks and transactions in a Quorum network and generates reports to give users insights into what is happening with their contracts
Besu permissioning dApp - Facilitate managing permissioning rules and maintaining the list of admin accounts that can edit rules
Istanbul Tools - Tools for configuring Istanbul BFT (IBFT) network
Quorum-Splunk - Using Splunk for quorum blockchain analytics and dashboards
Mirror Besu - compiling, testing and deployment for Hyperledger Besu, aiming to make life as an Enterprise Ethereum developer easier.
Ethernal - Block explorer for private EVM-based chains.
Apache Tuweni - JSON-RPC proxy, faucet, scraper, network crawler for Ethereum.
Splunk Connect for Ethereum - a connector to ingest blockchain data to Splunk.

Built on Quorum

7nodes - Starts up a fully-functioning GoQuorum environment consisting of 7 independent nodes. Demonstrates consensus, privacy, and all the expected functionality of an Ethereum platform.
web3j token sample - Demonstrates the creation and management of a private token on a GoQuorum network. Written in Java using web3j which is maintained by Web3 Labs.
Pons bridge | Pons-Frontend - A sample Cross-Chain Trading Bridge written to run over 2 GoQuorum Chains to safely exchange ERC-20 and ERC-721 assets.
Marketplace - An example application running on top of a GoQuorum network which allows users to bid for and offer virtual hackathon gear for sale in an interactive marketplace. Based on what was originally developed for the MLH Localhost GoQuorum workshop.
ZSL proof of concept - ZSL for GoQuorum enables the issuance of digital assets using ZSL-enabled public smart contracts (z-contracts). A combination of Tessera private contracts with z-contracts allows obligations that arise from a private contract to be settled using shielded transfers of z-tokens, while maintaining full privacy and confidentiality.
Anonymous Zether - A private payment system; an anonymous extension of Bünz, Agrawal, Zamani, and Boneh's Zether protocol.
QBFT Testnet - an Enterprise Ethereum Alliance initiative to create a conformance testing framework for the QBFT consensus algorithm.
