Ethereum’s Executive Director Gives Nod to Universal Protocol Alliance

Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation Joins Advisory Board of Universal Protocol Alliance

As the Universal Protocol alliance gears up for SFBW19, a blockchain titan has joined the Advisory board of the UP alliance to assist with attracting the next 100 million users to blockchain technology. Aya Miyaguchi, the executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, has decided to join as an advisor to the Universal Protocol alliance.

Aya joins other major tech icons and pioneers in assisting with the continued expansion of Universal Protocol. She joins a group of leading blockchain technology organizations, including Bittrex Global, Uphold, Cred, OmiseGO, CertiK, and Blockchain at Berkeley, all of whom are supporting the Universal Protocol Platform, a powerful digital asset reserve management and minting technology.

“I am very happy to support the Universal Protocol Alliance and its mission to drive mass adoption of cryptocurrency and bolster interoperability of the global blockchain ecosystem. I look forward to working with the members of the Alliance to build the financial infrastructure necessary to support token interoperability, utility and a set of very practical use cases that bridge traditional financial services with the crypto community,” Miyaguchi said.

Aya’s experience at the Ethereum Foundation will be crucial in the next stage of development as we deploy new UP stablecoins and reach new audiences. A key to our mission of attracting new users to blockchain involves our decision to wrap all of our UP stablecoins and tokens in an ERC-20 wrapper.

“We are thrilled to welcome Aya to the Universal Protocol Alliance Advisory Board,” said Dan Schatt, co-founder of the Universal Protocol Alliance and Cred. “To this day, Ethereum remains the predominant smart contract platform in the world, and is the protocol currently used for UP stablecoins and UP tokens minted by the Alliance. Aya’s years of experience with Ethereum and the crypto community will provide valuable insight and guidance to the UP Alliance.”

All members of the UP team are excited to get started working with Aya. Welcome to the alliance Aya Miyaguchi!
