Today’s announcement of the Token Taxonomy Initiative (TTI) is a milestone in the maturity of the blockchain industry.

On behalf of the entire Workbench team, thank you for your continued support and interest in Azure Blockchain Workbench. We release every month and our focus areas are driven by the topics you care about the most.

At DevCon in 2015, I announced support for Ethereum on Microsoft Azure. It was a humble beginning consisting of a private Ethereum network and a corresponding “Hello World” smart contract.

We’ve been very grateful for the feedback you’ve given us since we first introduced Azure Blockchain Workbench in public preview a few months ago. Your feedback continues to be an essential and impactful part of our work.

Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. In 2016, healthcare costs in the US are estimated at nearly 18 percent of the GDP! Healthcare is becoming less affordable worldwide, and a serious chasm is widening between those that can afford healthcare and those that cannot.

Last month, we announced the public preview release of Azure Blockchain Workbench, which greatly accelerates blockchain application development.

Today, we’re excited to announce the public preview release of Azure Blockchain Workbench, a new offering that can reduce application development time from months to days.

We see strong customer interest in the blockchain solutions that are available on the Azure Marketplace. Today, we are excited to announce significant enhancements to our Ethereum on Azure offering.

Over the past year, we have had the pleasure of working with several customers on their business initiatives related to blockchain’s technology.
