Impact on society (2nd Open Call)
Distributed ledger technology offers an opportunity to promote better management of data within public services, including for accounting and records management, as well as for electronic payments, particularly in the context of digital currencies, which represent an opportunity for central banks and financial regulators to provide a public payment mechanism that citizen-consumers can use independently of potentially exclusive custodial relationships.
