Two leading global blockchain consortium Hyperledger Project and Ethereum Enterprise Alliance (EEA) announced an unprecedented partnership that involves the creation of uniform standards for corporate distributed networks developed by members of these two organizations.
As stated in the joint statement of the Hyperledger Project and EEA, based on the principles of commitment to the open source, cross-platform collaboration will help accelerate the mass adoption of blockchain technology in a business environment.

Each organization joined the other as an associate member.
“This is a time of great possibilities. Cooperation on the mutual rights of associate membership offers both organizations the opportunity for more intensive collaboration. In addition, the developers Hyperledger can participate in the EEA certification program that ensures the compatibility of decisions with the project-oriented Enterprise Ethereum Client Specification”, — said the Executive Director of EEA Ron Resnick.
Accordingly, representatives of the community of EEA, working to specifications and standards, will get the opportunity to work with colleagues from Hyperledger with a view to their wider implementation.
“Standards, specifications and certification – all this helps the corporate clients of the block chain safe to implement the proposed solutions because they get the best guarantee platform compatibility, and a wider choice of suppliers”, — said the Executive Director of the Hyperledger Brian Behlendorf.
Also, the participants of both organizations will cooperate through various working groups, mitapov and conferences around the world, thus bringing numerous developers.
“Our organizations have similar objectives, such as expanding and strengthening community, as well as the broader corporate adoption of blockchain technologies. We hope to convey the idea about the fallacy of contrasting the EEA and Hyperledger”, — reads the statement of the two organizations.
It is noted that the work, emphasizing the unity of the two organizations is already underway. So, in 2017 the project was launched Hyperledger Burrow, which is an implementation of the interpreter byte-codes Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), running under the Apache license.
Earlier this year, the project Hyperledger Sawtooth have added support EVM for the processing of transactions, thus introducing smart contracts Ethereum core network based on the technology of Sawtooth. This initiative is in the active state, and the developers expect in the near future to verify its compatibility with EEA 1.0 Spec. In addition, support for the EVM is also available in Hyperledger Fabric.
As another example of ongoing cooperation is the working group EEA on issues of a trusted execution environment that will be created on the basis of Hyperledger Labs prototype implementation of the proposed standards called Private Data Objects.
We will remind, Hyperledger Project was launched in December 2015 with the participation of the Linux Foundation, IBM and a number of major global banks. Currently, the organization includes more than 250 companies.
About creating Enterprise Ethereum Alliance was announced in February 2017. Initially, the consortium included financial and technology companies — Accenture, Banco Santander, BlockApps, BNY Mellon, CME Group, ConsenSys, IC3, Intel, J. P. Morgan, Microsoft and Nuco as well as other well-known organizations and blockchain startups.
