| | EEA Releases Enterprise Ethereum Client Specification 1.0
| |
| As part of the EEA's overall strategy to standardize enterprise blockchain development, we released the first EEA Enterprise Ethereum Client Specification 1.0 currently available for free download. This specification provides organizations and the global development community a single, open-source, cross-platform standards-based framework to speed up business transactions, build a greater trust in contracts, and create more efficient business models. The EEA Specification incorporates components developed by the Ethereum Foundation as incorporated into the EEA Architecture state – also available for public download on the EEA Website.

| | EEA Publishes Why Standards Are Key to the Enterprise Blockchain Interoperability
| |
| With the introduction of any new technology era, it requires a global standards organization like EEA, along with world-class testing, and certification program to accelerate and drive global adoption. As part of the organization’s public awareness initiative, the EEA published a positioning paper on why standards are key to scaling the enterprise blockchain market considering proprietary offerings typically are first to emerge. The paper highlights why enterprise customers prefer standards and request associated Certification testing to be included in their RFPs to vendors. Enterprise rationale is that Certification testing that conforms to the standards ensures a reasonable level of interoperability, avoids vendor feature lock-in, drives competition, and ensures multiple vendors of choice. The paper is available for download at the EEA website.
