01 Dec Unified Definition of Social Impact For the Blockchain Sector
Common definitions provide the sector with a basis for a joint understanding. To do so in 2022 the SISWG, in cooperation with members of the GAB of INATBA, reviewed different social impact definitions and derived a social impact definition for the blockchain sector.
We believe that a common definition of social impact is crucial to align projects working on the topic to cooperate and achieve greater impact together but it will also help to decipher the potential of blockchain technology and expand the horizon of our actions, so those within and outside the blockchain ecosystem can see and understand the potential of these technologies to achieve a greater good.
