Professional services giant Deloitte has announced it is joining two of the world's largest blockchain consortiums.
Revealed today at CoinDesk's Consensus 2017 conference, Deloitte has officially joined the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, launched in February to promote corporate use of the ethereum blockchain, and the Hyperledger project, the Linux-led umbrella effort that houses various open-source enterprise distributed ledger technologies contributed by members.

Still, in interview, Deloitte principal Eric Piscini framed the news as more of a formalization of existing relationships with both groups.
He told CoinDesk:
"We've done projects on Hyperledger and ethereum for a long time. What's new to us is we want to be part of those organizations and structure. We want to drive some of the activities in the consortium."
Although the firm works on proofs-of-concept with corporates around the globe, Piscini remarked that the move wasn't driven by client demand, but rather by a desire for the firm to play a role in shaping how these technologies might be used by businesses.
Further, he stressed the general sentiment prevailing currently in the blockchain community that the entire industry needs to move toward launching projects that demonstrate the real-world utility of the projects.
He said:
"Our client is not looking for Hyperledger or ethereum. They're looking for something that's working."

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
