EEA Community Projects, Governing Body of the Baseline Protocol, Welcomes SAP as Sponsor

Wakefield, Mass., – 22 December 2021 – Today, EEA Community Projects announced that SAP has become a sponsor of the initiative in support of the Baseline Protocol project. As a sponsor, SAP joins Accenture, Arca, Chainlink, ConsenSys, the EEA, EY, Ethereum Foundation, Mover, Morpheus Network, Nethermind, Provide, Splunk, and Unibright in providing strategic vision, governance, technical guidance, and financial support for the work.  

“We’re excited to have SAP join the Baseline community, alongside a growing list of global leaders that are sponsoring the Baseline Protocol. SAP’s sponsorship is especially important because baselining is all about security in multi-party processes, and SAP technology is the gold standard in secure information management,” said John Wolpert, ConsenSys Group Executive and Baseline Protocol Technical Steering Committee Chair. 

Launched in March of 2020, the Baseline Protocol uses advances in peer-to-peer messaging, zero-knowledge cryptography, and blockchain technology to coordinate complex, confidential workflows between enterprises without moving company data out of traditional systems of record.  

“We are thrilled to have SAP join as a sponsor of the EEA Community Projects in support of the Baseline initiative. Hundreds of companies and thousands of individuals are already actively participating in the Baseline initiative because it enables private collaboration between companies without sensitive data going on-chain. As more and more organizations and developers realize the simplicity and security that the Baseline approach offers, the tool will deliver more value to consumer-facing industries through peer-to-peer transactions and services,” said Dan Burnett, EEA Executive Director and EEA Community Projects Governing Board Chair. “We look forward to working with SAP to chart the future of secure multi-party workflows.”
