The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) released their Enterprise Ethereum Architecture Stack (EEAS) on May 2nd, as per the EEA’s press service. The goal is to introduce standards and to promote development of Ethereum-based solutions.
The set defines infrastructure tools needed to drive the next generation of Enterprise Ethereum applications. The new stack preaches a leaner approach and is designed to create direct blockchain solutions without intermediaries.
The EEAS, which has taken EEA a year and a half to develop, will serve as a “conceptual framework” for corporations. It standardizes components of the Ethereum ecosystem and is intended to guide the development of a new set of the standards-based specifications.
“With the public release of the stack, the EEA is on its way to delivering a world-class standards-based specification for Enterprise Ethereum solutions with a TestNet and certification program to follow. The EEA’s standards-based approach enables enterprises to deliver a superior customer experience and create new and innovative solutions. Plus, having multiple vendors of choice will likely mean competition will drive down costs,” the EEA Executive Director Ron Resnick said.
The stack, available as a free public document to download, incorporates components developed by the Ethereum Foundation.
The EEA is a consortium of startups, Fortune 500 companies, academics, developers, and technology vendors, focussing on developing open-source standards that address enterprise deployment requirements. Formed in February 2017 by Santander, JP Morgan and a number of other founders, the EEA has since grown to over 500 members.
