NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Trial
Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.
Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) was originally designed for the Ethereum main network. Nowadays, however, most teams no longer want to reinvent blockchain from scratch; instead, they'd like to take EVM beyond Ethereum. We've seen a lot of blockchain teams choose to fork Ethereum (e.g., Quorum) or implement the EVM spec (e.g., Burrow, Pantheon), adding their own designs. The intention is to not only reuse the Ethereum design but also leverage its ecosystem and developer community. To many developers, the concept of "smart contract" is almost equivalent to a smart contract written in Solidity. Although Ethereum itself has some constraints, the technology around the EVM ecosystem is booming.
