The Working Group gathers mutual interest amongst INATBA members to obtain more guidance and particular help from the regulators. This may lead to issued guidance, on the European level from the EDPB, change of current regulations and taking this key technology into account when drafting new regulations.

 

Objectives

The Working Group has selected three objectives around which it will carry out its annual work:

• Conduct a broad survey to substantiate the efforts and understand in more detail how blockchain projects perceive privacy regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and how it impacts them.

• Understand how privacy regulation around the globe impacts on blockchain (projects).

• Strengthen the connection with the European Data Protection Board (EDBP) and input on the expected opinion/guidance on blockchain.

Why is it essential?

Privacy regulations, and their unclarity with regard to blockchain, are currently a limiting factor in the development of distributed systems and networks. As regulators currently work on the assumption client-server architecture for IT systems, there are no provisions for blockchain/DLT.
