Accenture is among a group of 13 companies partnering with startup CoinSciences in an effort to get more enterprise businesses working with blockchain.
Those involved with the effort are largely existing users of the MultiChain platform, and the program formalizes that relationship. Participants include professional services firm Accenture, financial tech provider D+H and IT firm Mphasis.

According to founder and CEO Gideon Greenspan, the goal is to expand the market for blockchain consulting while at the same time improving the visibility of both its MultiChain private blockchain platform as well as the services of its partners.
He said of the launch:
"The MultiChain Platform Partner Program allows us to formalize our relationship with these companies, offering them both marketing exposure and deep technical assistance.”
The move is a step into the public eye for Multichain, which has emerged as a notable player in the permissioned blockchain space. Those involved with the effort use the startup's platform as a basis for proofs-of-concept and prototype development alongside their respective clients.
First launching as a provider of technology for the bitcoin blockchain, CoinSciences has since shifted gears to projects like a recent cross-border proof-of-concept unveiled by Dutch multinational bank Rabobank.
In statements, partner Accenture was effusive in its praise for CoinSciences and its work, highlighting how it uses the Multichain platform as a basis for early-stage blockchain testing.
"We’ve been working with MultiChain for nearly two years, and have seen the platform evolve rapidly to adapt to clients’ needs, including everything from building proofs-of-concept to supporting pilot projects,” David Treat, managing director of Accenture’s Financial Services blockchain practice, said in a statement.
The news highlights Accenture's growing footprint in the blockchain space. Other startups working with the services firm include Digital Asset Holdings, Blockstream and Monax.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
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.

Rollercoaster bitcoin price moves end up liquidating $1.7 billion in bullish crypto bets
More than $1.7 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours as bitcoin fell to $81,000, with long bets accounting for nearly all the damage amid macro jitters and Fed chair speculation.
What to know:
- More than $1.68 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with about 267,000 traders forced out of trades.
- Long positions accounted for nearly 93 percent of the wipeout, led by roughly $780 million in bitcoin and $414 million in ether liquidations.
- Analysts say the sell-off was driven less by new bearish sentiment than by overcrowded leverage unwinding, flushing out speculative excess and reducing forced flows in the market.
