Meet the Experts: Eric Piscini and May Chan
Eric Piscini, CEO of Hashgraph, brings deep experience in blockchain and enterprise technology. His career includes executive roles at IBM, Deloitte, and Citizens Reserve, positioning him uniquely to lead Hashgraph. Under Piscini’s guidance, Hashgraph develops tools to ease enterprise adoption of decentralized ledger technology (DLT).
May Chan, CEO of HashPack, co-founded Hedera Hashgraph’s most trusted wallet application. She transitioned from professional engineering to tech entrepreneurship, deeply embedding herself in the Hedera community. Chan’s insight and community-focused leadership help HashPack stand out as a user-friendly platform within the ecosystem.
Together, their insights illuminate why HashSphere is crucial for enterprises exploring blockchain solutions.
The Vision Behind HashSphere
During the podcast, Piscini emphasized HashSphere’s role as a necessary alternative to public ledger adoption. Many organizations express interest in Hedera but face regulatory and compliance hurdles. Issues such as data residency and privacy concerns often limit these organizations from adopting fully public solutions.
Previously, companies facing these barriers moved towards other private blockchain platforms. To address this issue, Hashgraph designed HashSphere to capture these enterprises early. By doing so, HashSphere guides businesses toward eventual integration with the Hedera mainnet.
HashSphere is not a competitor to mainnet. It’s an onboarding path—a gateway drug to decentralization.

Piscini described HashSphere as a “gateway”—a stepping stone for businesses moving from private to public blockchains.
Key Benefits of HashSphere
Privacy and Compliance
Companies often misunderstand blockchain data privacy, mistakenly assuming data placed on-chain violates regulations like GDPR. HashSphere clears this confusion. It lets enterprises store sensitive data privately, enabling compliance with local and national regulations. This approach builds confidence for eventual mainnet integration.
Interoperability
HashSphere offers future-proof interoperability. Enterprises initially adopting private networks can later transition smoothly onto Hedera mainnet. Future development includes bridges connecting private HashSpheres to Hedera’s public network, simplifying the migration process.
Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure
Enterprises need robust, reliable support when adopting new technologies. HashSphere provides localized service-level agreements, support channels, and partner ecosystems to assist enterprises. These elements reduce friction, helping companies confidently adopt Hashgraph technology.
Open Source Trust
HashSphere leverages Hedera’s open-source Hiero project codebase, managed by the Linux Foundation’s Decentralized Trust initiative. This open management model reassures enterprises wary of single-vendor lock-in, promoting wider adoption of Hedera-based solutions.
Enterprises need someone who will pick up the phone when they have issues. HashSphere offers this dedicated support.

Real-World Adoption: Stablecoins and Supply Chain
Enterprise demand for HashSphere is already evident. Piscini shared examples of stablecoin projects and supply chain initiatives seeking private blockchain solutions.
Stablecoin projects favor HashSphere because it provides private, regulated environments for transactions. Supply chain businesses choose HashSphere for its ability to securely share data between multiple stakeholders, streamlining operations without sacrificing privacy.
Community and Ecosystem Growth
May Chan highlighted the importance of Hedera’s vibrant, technically-focused community. HashPack and other infrastructure providers play key roles supporting HashSphere’s enterprise adoption.
Chan explained how infrastructure built for private HashSpheres also enhances public mainnet functionality. She noted this ecosystem synergy drives broader adoption, benefiting the entire Hedera community.
Our community is uniquely supportive, innovative, and focused on solving real business challenges.

Future Prospects
Both Piscini and Chan expressed optimism about HashSphere’s future and its impact on Hedera mainnet adoption. They foresee enterprises initially adopting private solutions eventually moving towards public integrations. The ability for multiple HashSpheres to interoperate via Hedera mainnet may further accelerate enterprise adoption.
Ultimately, HashSphere helps bridge the gap between regulated enterprise environments and the transparent public ledger. This strategy positions Hedera uniquely within the blockchain landscape.
HashSphere represents more than a technical solution. It acts as the strategic entry point enterprises need to confidently join the Hedera ecosystem. With committed leadership from figures like Eric Piscini and May Chan, HashSphere paves the way for widespread enterprise adoption, reinforcing Hedera’s role as a premier blockchain solution.
