Ethereum

/ethereum foundation | opinions are my own but more than likely they come from Vitalik's blog paragraph.xyz/@chaskin

One of the reasons why we want to use Ethereum as a backbone for business processes is because our European authorities want to force us to only use their centralized solution, PEPPOL, as the only network to exchange electronic invoices.

Doing this is basically giving the EU authorities the right to kill any EU company at any time because once you are kicked out of the only network you are allowed to use to send and receive electronic invoices, you basically have to close your company: you cannot send any invoice to get any income and your suppliers will drop you because they cannot send you an invoice and get paid.

Our politicians did not think about that when they passed bills to force the use of electronic invoicing in EU using that PEPPOL network.

That's why we build DEXES.
We have learnt from SWIFT.

We need a decentralized solution to exchange business documents and further the automation of business processes in a safe, reliable and durable way.

Because

a. We need a solution that is known to a large group of users, dev and companies. This will ease the adoption.

b. We need to be able to send and record small to medium sized payloads as we propose both off-chain and on-chain storage for the encrypted documents (this is what disqualifies Solana)

c. We need a global notification system. Ethereum logs is the perfect fit for our use cases.

d. We have cheap gas thanks to L2.

e. We need to have access to on-chain  DeFi products to automate the management of our revenues and ETH has deep liquidity.
