Why do you use the Ethereum platform for project Aiur? Is that a permanent decision?

We believe that the Ethereum platform is extremely well-suited to serve as a foundational layer for a very large number of both financial and non-financial protocols in the years to come. But whilst persuaded that Ethereum is the right public blockchain platform for the initial development of project Aiur, we will constantly monitor interoperability and other functional requirements. These relative evaluation exercises might lead us to a backbone platform change further down the line.
