?? New Paper Alert! Today, we release a paper that explores the policy and legal implications of implementing unconditional inclusion lists on #Ethereum, and whether they would make the network more or less credibly neutral. It describes how inclusion lists would be architected, as well as how this architecture might impact various base layer actors and the broader perception of Ethereum. The paper, developed by Khushi Wadhwa, Nikhil Raghuveera and Jane Khodarkovsky of Predicate and Arktouros PLLC, was reviewed by industry organizations, independent researchers, and policy experts including Brendan Malone at Paradigm, Michael Neuder at the Ethereum Foundation, and Michael Mosier at Arktouros. Even though Ethereum exists as open technology many of its participants operate in regulated markets. Inclusion lists can have significant policy implications on Ethereum’s broader roadmap and usage, especially when building a global financial settlement system. “It is important not to forget the regulatory and policy implications of technical decisions,” said Alison Mangiero, Executive Director of POSA. “As new proposals make the work of various base layer actors more nuanced, it is increasingly important to raise questions like the ones posed in this paper, which POSA is proud to publish and support.” Read the Full Paper! https://lnkd.in/dtXsMEK9 Coverage: https://lnkd.in/dz2MYyCn
