The creator of Ethereum platform Vitalik Buterin has suggested Hyperledger technical steering committee to implement Ethereum to the project’s proof-of-concept.

Speaking at the steering committee meeting, Buterin listed three possible ways of using Ethereum for the proof-of-concept, varying from light-touch collaboration to hardcore partnership.

Thus, according to Buterin, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) could be used for computational purposes without changing the current account model, or rather supplemented by the account model provided by the company’s smart contracts system. The third option implies constructing a totally new account model based on Ethereum.

Currently, the proof-of-concept consists of codes provided by IBM, Digital Assets Holdings and Blockstream.

Buterin highlighted that all three options could be developed or changed in accordance with the stage the Hyperledger architecture is currently at:

"This is probably the area where I know a bit less about and if you want to go more deeply into this, with more follow up calls, I’d need more information specifically about the kinds of things about how the Hyperledger architecture works at this point," CoinDesk quotes Buterin.

In response to these offers, the steering committee members expressed their interest in further collaboration and invited Vitalik to join them during their upcoming meeting at the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation's offices in New Jersey.

The Hyperledger project launched by the Linux Foundation aims at promotion of the blockchain technology and creating cross-industry standards and individual solutions for the application of blockchain in a variety of fields, including banking, industry, insurance, proprietary rights, energy, civil contracts and the Internet of Things.

The project’s governing board chaired by Digital Asset Holdings CEO Blythe Masters includes representatives of Intel, IBM, R3, Deutsche Börse, J.P. Morgan, DTCC, CME Group, Accenture, Fujitsu, SWIFT and other prominent industry players.
