Microsoft might not be keen on Bitcoin, but it's cock-a-hoop about the backend blockchain the currency uses and has given the first details of Project Bletchley, a plan to add the tech into Azure services via some new middleware.
"Project Bletchley is a vision for Microsoft to deliver Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) that is open and flexible for all platforms, partners and customers," said Marley Gray, director of bizdev and strategy for cloud and enterprise at Redmond.
"We're thrilled to be on this journey with the blockchain community, and are looking forward to helping transform the way we think about and do business today."
The blockchain system, invented by the still-elusive Satoshi Nakamoto, records the movement of an asset and distributes the information in a nearly-tamper-proof digital ledger.
