An enterprise consortium is exploring the possibility of using blockchain-based governance technology to help its members vote on various measures.

According to sources, the newly formed Enterprise Ethereum group is considering a more distributed approach to self-management, rather than the more traditional leadership structure adopted by competing blockchain consortia like R3CEV and Hyperledger.

As reported

by CoinDesk last month, Enterprise Ethereum is a consortium-style group of companies looking to build private implementations of ethereum with an eye to also help improve the public version of the technology.

CoinDesk has been told that the founding members of that group – rumored to include JP Morgan, Santander and BNY Mellon – are currently considering using smart contracts to effectively build its decision-making process into the ethereum blockchain.

Called the 'EntEth Technical Governance Mechanism', the distributed board membership and voting platform would be supported by tech provided by BoardRoom, a decentralized governance platform, if approved by the nascent organization.

First publicly revealed in 2015 at the ethereum developers' conference DevCon, BoardRoom is a part of the group of companies, or 'spokes', built around the ConsenSys ethereum startup.

At its core, BoardRoom is a smart contract on the ethereum network designed to let individuals, companies and other groups manage other contracts on both the public and private instances of ethereum.

The company, founded by developer Nick Dodson and advised by ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, offers its users the ability to collaboratively manage jointly owned digital assets and conduct proxy voting on board proposals.

Boardroom advisor Joe Lubin and founder of ethereum startup ConsenSys confirmed to CoinDesk that the consortium is currently exploring a number of possible governance structures "at different levels of the organization".

He added:

"No final decisions have been made."

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Title Image

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

Lo que debes saber:

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.
