DocuSign, a San Francisco based firm has declared the integration of the Ethereum Blockchain into its electronic signature and transaction management service. The firm offers electronic signature technology and digital transaction management services for using electronic exchanges for contracts and signed documents.
DocuSign currently has around 400,000 paying customers, all these users now have a choice to have evidence of a DocuSign agreement automatically based on the Ethereum blockchain. The latest option will be alternate to the firm's current system for verifying signatures and is composed to be absolutely fit for customers who want to have evidence of their agreements in a neutral environment.
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.
