The Hyperledger Project and the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) have agreed to collaborate on bringing common standards to the blockchain space. The two consortiums represent two of the three major enterprise blockchain communities, the third being the R3 Corda ecosystem. If the team-up succeeds in creating common standards between the two platforms, it could sway enterprises previously on the fence to build their blockchains on one or the other, since the problem of creating new silos that don't talk to other systems is being addressed. This collaboration also means that Hyperledger's 200 member organizations may now interact with tokens and smart contracts on Ethereum ($ETH).
