I don&#8217;t care how they get solved.&#8221; \u2014Tom Menner, IBM<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tom said, \u201cI just want to solve problems. I don&#8217;t care how they get solved.\u201d He continued, \u201cWhat will provide supply chain visibility, faster settlements, order management visibility, etc.\u201d He then got more specific, saying that what he imagined \u201cis looking at Hyperledger as the protocol layer (of blockchain implementations) and Ethereum as an OS on top of that. But if I can just build apps on top of Hyperledger, then that&#8217;s great, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A couple of other IBMers in attendance outlined their view of the Hyperledger Project&#8217;s history, with one noting that \u201cwe wanted the solution framework to be modular. One consensus and security model is not going to satisfy every case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If one were to be afflicted with a bit of paranoia, all of the soothing words from IBM might sound a bit like the calming speech you give to Old Rex as you bring him into the vet for that final shot.<\/p>\n<p>He went to say that the IBM Hyperledger team envisions \u201cwhat we call HL Transaction Protocol, or HTLP. We spent months (wondering whether) to throw an army against Ethereum, which is open source but not openly governed. But what if you could shift time, with Ethereum built after HLTP existed; then, you would spend less time building Ethereum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hmm&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<H3>Many big issues<\/h3>\n<p>He also mentioned high transaction throughput, finality, identity, and private confidential agreements as priorities for an ideal blockchain solution. For his part, Bhavin mentioned the same issues in a different way, noting that \u201cI&#8217;m concerned about settlement\u2014how to clear the trade\u2014and how to make this aspect a lot more robust. I want to see more emphasis on life cycle and its impact on the OTC side of things and other (so-called) exotic stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I want to see more emphasis on life cycle and its impact on the OTC side of things.&#8221; \u2014Bhavin Kapadia, OTC Calypso Consultant<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Less grandly, but similar in profundity, Andrew said blockchain \u201cshould be the next generation of the database. It should replace MySQL and add that layer of trust from the public Ethereum network. He said his company&#8217;s main interest at this point is to integrate the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) into the Hyperledger Project.<\/p>\n<p>Renat pressed the panelists to identify issues relating to use cases outside of bitcoin and financial services, and asked, \u201cwhat type of issues can be solved with Hyperledger but not Ethereum, and vice versa?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The question seemed a little premature, as the panelists focused on general integration issues, as well as public versus private networks, and permissioned versus non-permissioned environments. This reflected much of the talk I heard a couple of days later at the Hyperledger F2F.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew said \u201cwe&#8217;ve been able to create a private infrastructure that&#8217;s completely moduralizable. Bitcoin does one thing well\u2014the transfer and storage of value\u2014but without smart contracts and applications it will be relatively limited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Igor seconded that emotion while noting that \u201cwe like that Hyperledger is able to conceptualize computational, expensive work and incorporate it into the blockchain. (On the other hand), Ethereum runs native so can things can get really expensive to compute.<\/p>\n<p>He also asked, \u201cHow do we provide so-called \u201coracles\u201d in smart contracts that can take outside data?\u201d One example would be micropayments to the 3.5 billion unbanked, unregistered people in the world\u2014an application \u201cin which a public network provides value,\u201d Igor noted.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We&#8217;ve been able to create a private infrastructure that&#8217;s completely modularizable.&#8221; \u2014Andrew Keys, ConsenSys<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Andrew noted how the SWIFT system today transfers \u201call the money in the world\u201d through both private and public instantiations, something \u201cthat will always be.\u201d He said a successful blockchain roadmap \u201cmust interact with both of them, and that&#8217;s why we want to integrate the EVM into Hyperledger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_smart_contracts_live\"><\/span>Where smart contracts live<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cEVM is where smart contracts live,\u201d Igor said. \u201cThe difference is Ethereum is native to blockchain, so contracts execute within the context of blockchain; they are not off-chain. There is a tremendous value-add here. It enables true disintermediation\u2014if you agree on smart contract code there is nothing in the middle besides the blockchain that&#8217;s running it. If we could bring that into the Hyperledger Project it could go hand-in-hand with code to create on-chain contracts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Within this context, identity is a big issue, and one that merits its own working group within the Hyperledger Project. Indeed, Igor said that with a private key \u201cyou can almost take the blockchain away and I still have this string that represents me on the network. It&#8217;s almost like we need to have an Identity Foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrew then took the conversation through an interesting turn, saying there&#8217;s a paradigm shift going on here, \u201cgoing from the Facebooks of the world, which make lots of money on our identity, to what should be instead a world where we each have a self-sovereign identity. We own a canonical persona with attributes and attestations. When you sign into Facebook today, the company owns your identity. But instead, if we own our own identity we could get paid if we choose to look at an ad, for example. This is the critical next point on the evolution of the Internet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And if that doesn&#8217;t get people&#8217;s attention, what will?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Want_details_Watch_the_video\"><\/span>Want details?
