Microsoft has published an update on the Azure Blockchain as a Service, saying it is investigating how to add the Ripple’s payments technology.
Microsoft has updated information on its Ethereum Blockchain as a Service, launched on its Azure platform last month. In a new blog post, Marley Gray, director of technology Strategy for Microsoft US Financial Services, provided details on the development of its blockchain-based development tools, saying the company received only positive feedback from its clients.
As Gray noted, the company is now investigating the Ripple’s protocol for Interledger payments and how it can be integrated by the Azure enterprise. “Azure BaaS is currently operating a Ripple validating node for the benefit of Ripple’s bank users, providing a valuable stakeholder to the consensus network,” Gray stated.
“We’re exploring how the Interledger Protocol can be used by the Azure enterprise and developer community to enable new and novel use cases within Microsoft’s Blockchain as a Service offering.”
