Click to download audio version In their relatively short lifespan,
blockchain technologies have already undergone significant milestones.
Bitcoin’s blockchain, often referred to as Blockchain 1.0,
features a simple database ledger that records transactions in a chronological
order and represents the state of the network to participants. Ethereum, or
Blockchain 2.0, introduced the notion of smart contracts. Microsoft’s Bletchley
Project introduces a new modular architecture which might mark a new milestone
for blockchain technologies. Marley Gray, Principal Program Manager
Blockchain at Microsoft, joins us to talk about Microsoft’s approach to
blockchain architecture. With enterprise in mind, Bletchley introduces the
concept of “Cryptlets”, the core building blocks for introducing a secure
middleware tier into blockchain application infrastructure. These computational
units, running off-chain, on secure trusted container enclave hardware, could
provide trusted data to on-chain smart contract logic. Topics discussed in this
