Ethereum Foundation’s Director Will Now Help Businesses Use Public Blockchain
- Aya Miyaguchi made a statement where she noted that EEA wants to impact the industry.
- Joseph Lubin commented on the attention by businesses to the Ethereum network.
Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation Aya Miyaguchi has been delegated to the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance’s board, perhaps as part of its new “Mainnet Initiative”.
Miyaguchi was responsible for governing the side of the public Ethereum blockchain, but as an EEA board member will help the interoperability and efforts aimed at building standards by EEA’s Executive Director Ron Resnick.
Miyaguchi was obviously content and published a statement:
“As blockchain adoption accelerates, it’s important that the Ethereum Foundation work to connect businesses with the latest research and development coming from our worldwide community, and that we convey our challenges and experiences while better understanding those impacting industries.”
The aforementioned new EEA Mainnet Initiative aims to bring enterprise and public efforts closer for the common good. The working group’s goal is to determine the best ways in which the requirements of the commercial market can be fulfilled by the public network components and let the world connect to Ethereum.
Another EEA board member, Joseph Lubin (also a Co-Founder of Ethereum and Founder of ConsenSys) commented this goal in a statement.
“In the past year, we have seen the great acceleration of interest in and adoption of Ethereum technology by the enterprise. Notably, there have been tangible and committed efforts to use Ethereum mainnet by the enterprise and to build infrastructure for mainnet that will also serve many business use cases for the long term. Major organizations from the big four and big tech to pharma, major financial service companies, central banks, and large energy companies are all turning significant attention to Ethereum.”
Everybody curious about the EEA Mainnet Initiative will have most of their questions answered during the upcoming Devcon5, which will take place between 8 and 11 October, 2019, in Osaka Japan.
