B3i "concluded that the Corda platform offers the best blockchain solution available, providing a solid foundation for B3i to efficiently deliver business value to its clients" after an extensive review of available open-source blockchains, according to the release.
According to the press release, "full integration of Corda nodes" is expected to be enabled "in the professional and compliant IT environments that are used by B3i's clients."
R3 – which is its own consortium of banking firms – launched the Corda platform in October 2017 and aims the tech at different types of business entities within the financial industry, as previously reported by CoinDesk.
R3 CTO Richard Brown said in a statement that "we are delighted that B3i has selected Corda as its preferred platform and our engineering team is looking forward to working closely with the excellent team at B3i to bring their innovative solutions to market."
