Digital Trust and Security Webinar: Jonathan Reiter

Описание: Talk Title: The Role of Third Party Intelligence in Transparent Markets

The promise of public ledgers is that everyone can see everything. But most public data is not usable by most end users. Instead over the last decade this dynamic led to a proliferation of blockchain intelligence tools and services that leverage available data to address a wide variety of use cases. These tools and services now form an essential part of the digital asset ecosystem. Simultaneously, when third parties can access the same information as regulators and law enforcement new supervisory modalities become available. This, in turn, can require new intelligence tooling. In this talk we discuss the variety of roles blockchain intelligence providers can play in transparent markets, explore how transparency enables novel, more efficient market governance mechanisms and provide an overview of the sorts of business models the digital asset ecosystem can support.
