What’s going on?
An auditing firm EY has created a software that will facilitate blockchain technologies adoption among its corporate customers, Coindesk reports. The Ethereum-based platform called Nightfall will be rolled out in May to promote such blockchain use cases as supply chains, food tracing, and transactions between branches of a company. EY intends to make it an open-source software, and put it n the public domain, with no license at all.
“We want to maximize adoption and community involvement, we want people to adopt it, and adapt it, and improve it. If we retain ownership, people may not invest that much time and energy in something they might not control. The cleanest way to make everybody use it is just to give it away with no strings attached,” EY’s global innovation leader for blockchain, Paul Brody, commented.
