Blockchain technology
Blockchain technology allows people and organisations who may not know or trust each other to collectively agree on and permanently record information without a third-party authority. By creating trust in data in ways that were not possible before, blockchain has the potential to revolutionise how we share information and carry out transactions online.
The European Commission's strategy is designed to meet these goals. It wants to support a 'gold standard' for blockchain technology in Europe that embraces European values and ideals in its legal and regulatory framework.
