Tendermint Partners With Microsoft’s Azure Blockchain As A Service Platform

Tendermint, a blockchain development platform, has announced that it has been added to Microsoft’s Azure Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) platform.

“We are proud to announce our partnership with Microsoft,” said Jae Kwon, CEO and founder of Tendermint. “We’ll be integrating Microsoft Azure Cloud into our MintNet blockchain deployment tool and testing large-scale blockchain networks hosted on Azure Cloud. We look forward to reporting details and metrics on our experiments.”

Tendermint’s technology offers modular architecture for blockchain development, with an open-source blockchain engine at the core, which can power any ledger application.

The release further said that Tendermint was behind the scenes at the forefront of a recent announcement by R3 CEV. It explained that the blockchain consortium led by R3 completed trials with 40 banks using five different distributed ledger concepts, one of which was technology out of Eris Industries, which runs Tendermint’s consensus protocol.

Earlier this year, Tendermint announced that it is moving into deployment phase in partnership with The Vanbex Group, a leading Bitcoin 2.0 marketing and public relations firm.

Microsoft Azure is a growing collection of integrated cloud services—analytics, computing, database, mobile, networking, storage, and web. Marley Gray, Microsoft’s director of technology strategy, recently announced several new partners including Augur, Lisk, BitShares, Syscoin and Slock.it.
