Ron Hirson, who is the chief product officer at DocuSign said,
“For customers that opt-in, DocuSign will compute a one-way cryptographic hash fingerprint for every completed transaction, and write the value to the Ethereum blockchain — the most popular blockchain for smart contracts in our view.”
He further mentioned that the hash will work as a “tamper-proof evidence for the transaction” that “enables any completed document to be validated independently. And by using the Ethereum blockchain, that third party evidence for a transaction is accessible to anyone.” Moreover, the use of Ethereum Blockchain enables the evidence for the transactions available to anyone.

The new feature enables you to scan any document and then edit crop and resize it before importing a photo in your signature. Intelligent Insights is yet another awesome feature which uses AI-based search and agreement analytics to go beyond keywords in understanding contract clauses in the same way as a human. For instance, knowing that an article about Internet cookies is based on privacy, even though the keyword “privacy” is absent.
