Soulbound Tokens (SBTs)
SBTs are non-transferable NFTs representing a person's reputation, credentials, or achievements, which could be used for verifiable impact tracking and digital identity within social good initiatives.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)
ZKPs allow for verification of information without revealing the underlying data, enhancing privacy and trust in impact reporting and data sharing among sensitive social projects.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) Regulation (2024)
MiCA is a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto-assets across the EU, including France, aimed at harmonizing rules for issuers and service providers, ensuring consumer protection, and market integrity.
While primarily focused on financial crypto-assets, MiCA will influence token issuance and service provision, potentially increasing compliance burdens for blockchain projects, including those with social impact aims, particularly those involving fungible tokens or stablecoins.
France's DLT Pilot Regime (2022) for Securities
This national implementation of the EU's DLT Pilot Regime allows for the issuance and trading of tokenized securities on blockchain technology, under certain conditions, bypassing traditional intermediaries.
This policy creates a regulated environment for certain types of tokenized assets, potentially opening new funding mechanisms for social impact projects in France that involve tokenized financial instruments or equity, subject to specific criteria.
Digital Services Act (DSA) & Digital Markets Act (DMA) (2022)
The DSA focuses on content moderation and user safety, while the DMA addresses market power of large online platforms, both impacting how digital services operate in the EU, including France.
These acts will influence PositiveBlockchain.io's operations by setting requirements for transparency, content moderation, and potentially data handling, ensuring a safer online environment but also introducing new compliance obligations for its platform and community interactions.
