Business Giants to Announce Creation of a Computing System Based on Ethereum

原文太長 我節錄一些重點:

An alliance of about 30 companies, including Microsoft and JPMorgan Chase,
has plans to standardize data gathering and tracking using software that is
seen as harder to hack.

The new organization, a nonprofit, is part of a broader movement to harness
the technological concept known as the blockchain, which was introduced to
the world by Bitcoin.

IBM has made a particularly big push into the blockchain business, and it has
been leading a separate collaborative project, known as the Hyperledger
Foundation.

The new Ethereum alliance has been described by some of its backers as a way
to ensure that the IBM-led blockchain effort is not the only option for
businesses looking to use the technology. Other companies like R3 and Chain
have also been developing alternative blockchains.

The purpose of the alliance is to create a standard, open-source version of
Ethereum that can provide a foundation for any specific use case.
