SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

The Smart Contract Security Alliance ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2408553-1&h=1732918317&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.smartcontractsecurityalliance.com%2F&a=Smart+Contract+Security+Alliance 
) , a collaboration of industry leaders that recommend security standards and 
guidelines for the blockchain industry, adds Fujitsu R&D Center Co., Ltd. ( 
http://www.fujitsu.com/cn/en/about/local/subsidiaries/frdc/ ) to its 
membership. Fujitsu R&D Center, a China-based Fujitsu group company, is the 
first research and development institution with independent legal status in 
China. Established in 1935, Fujitsu Limited is Japan's top IT services 
provider, and is also a leader in the development of Hyperledger.

"Fujitsu is a longstanding and successful IT company that has made key 
contributions to Hyperledger," says Richard Ma, CEO of Quantstamp and Cofounder 
of the Smart Contract Security Alliance. "We are thrilled to include their 
involvement and interest in Hyperledger to the collective expertise of the 
alliance."

While enterprise companies are generally interested in blockchain applications, 
the lack of security standards has led many potential adopters to wait on the 
sidelines. Blockchain applications, such as smart contracts, offer great 
potential for companies across numerous sectors because they can create 
efficiencies and solve problems that other technologies are unable to solve. It 
is crucial to tackle the security challenges standing in the way of 
blockchain's broader adoption through initiatives such as the Smart Contract 
Security Alliance.

The Smart Contract Security Alliance, founded by Quantstamp ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2408553-1&h=2428990745&u=http%3A%2F%2Fquantstamp.com%2F&a=Quantstamp 
), works with industry leaders to develop accepted standards for creating and 
evaluating the security of smart contracts and blockchain applications. Through 
the development of these standards, the Smart Contract Security Alliance aims 
to bring professionalism to the blockchain industry and facilitate mainstream 
adoption.

"Organizations like the Smart Contract Security Alliance are essential for 
bringing professionalism and security into the emerging blockchain industry," 
says Kentarou Fuji, VP of Global Marketing Unit in Fujitsu Limited. "We look 
forward to working with our peers in the alliance to help this industry reach 
its massive potential."

The membership of the Smart Contract Security Alliance includes Quantstamp, 
Layer X, NRI Secure, Blockgeeks, Modular Inc., and the National University of 
Singapore Crystal Centre School of Computing. The alliance will soon provide 
more guidance to the blockchain community and share learnings related to smart 
contract security.

Fujitsu Limited is a premier member of Hyperledger. In July 2017, the company 
increased the speed of Hyperledger transactions by 270% by improving the 
communication between blockchain applications and the underlying blockchain. 
Fujitsu also developed a "blockchain productization framework" that enables 
businesses to develop minimum viable products (MVPs) in 5 days. This past June, 
the company launched a "blockchain asset service" product that enables 
businesses to better market products to potential customers. In March 2018, 
Fujitsu developed software that detects potential vulnerabilities in Ethereum 
smart contracts.

Security companies interested in advancing blockchain technology standards are 
encouraged to join the Smart Contract Security Alliance and have a voice in the 
future of blockchain security.
