The EY organization, a professional services technology company, has announced a new API that is intended to allow its enterprise partners to utilize public blockchains without needing to handle developing the infrastructure internally. This new EY OpsChain provides access to the Ethereum Mainnet and the Polygon Proof of Stake network.
The company’s press release highlighted the value that this new API provides to its enterprise customers:
“The EY OpsChain API services take typical enterprise system outputs, such as serialized parts, batches, or products, and turn that into unique blockchain tokens carrying history and origin information. Initial services will support non-fungible (ERC-721) tokens with other token types including ERC-20 and ERC-1155 token standards to follow. Once deployed on a blockchain, these tokens can be transferred, destroyed or updated as needed.”
While EY has published documentation providing technical detail on the API, it has not yet been made publicly available and interested developers will need to reach out to the company for access.
