Today we are announcing our new company name and brand structure: OpenZeppelin. This change from our previous name, Zeppelin Solutions, allows us to look deeply at our brand and at how it can better reflect who we are and where we’re headed as an organization.

The Zeppelin community connects experts, beginners, and enthusiasts of smart contract and decentralized app development from all over the world.

Wyre and Zeppelin share an ambition to lower barriers to entry for blockchain entrepreneurs, so we’ve spun up an integration of the Transaction Permission Layer (“TPL”) and YES Token which does just that.

The Transaction Permission Layer protocol (TPL) is a method for assigning metadata (herein referred to as “attributes”) to Ethereum addresses. These attributes then form the basis for designing systems that enforce permissions when performing certain transactions.

William Hinman’s recent statements at the Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit provide some guidance for token projects intending to sell tokens as non-securities in the United States.
