I was accepted as member of the EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum Expert Panel: [https://www.eublockchainforum.eu](https://www.eublockchainforum.eu) I’m very optimistic about the open-mindedness of the Forum meaning they won’t restrict focus on old-school, Nakamoto-style blockchain, where you have real blocks and real chain… My message to them is that shared ledgers come in different shapes, sizes and topologies. In the EU GDPR is a big deal, and I haven’t seen any blockchain-like system which is GDPR compliant except for your Canton ledger interoperability protocol. ---
