The well-known tech giant Microsoft recently started a partnership with Blockstack Labs and ConsenSys to create an open-source platform to integrate both the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains.

In today’s blog post published by Microsoft blockchain business strategist, in fact, he explained that the company will create an open source framework on Azure, where developers can build their own identity applications.

The possibility to connect this platform to both the Ethereum and the Bitcoin blockchain will take place thanks to Blockstack and uPort systems.

This partnership started during the ID2020 Summit held in New York a few weeks ago.

According to Rhodes, a first version of this framework will be launched within the end of the summer on the Azure platform.

According to the post published by Rhodes, 1.5 billion people don’t have a proper identification.

And this makes it difficult for them to have a bank account or access to education and more services.
