The hyperstate of data - the same data being both personal and non personal?

December 17, 2018

Although we tend to believe that data is just data, in itself it can have various states over time. This is what I would like to call the data life cycle. In this article, I will show you how data can evolve over various states in its life cycle and by making use of these states in a smart way, we can work, if the circumstances are right, with personal data in open, immutable and permanent data environments without lacking compliance to GDPR.

Governance Challeges of Blockchain and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations
Information Polity
December 11, 2019

The rise of open and distributed technologies like blockchain have resulted in discussion on the need for (new) governance models in which multiple actors need to collaborate. Various incidents and problems occur due to flaws in blockchain protocols, smart contract and Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) and often it is not clear how decisions are made concerning the evolvement of blockchain applications. While DAO is often the term used to refer to the organizational arrangement guiding the blockchain applications, governance is needed to guide the decision-making. In this paper, we identify and analyze the potential challenges regarding the governance of blockchain initiatives in the various types of decentralized networks. The challenges for the various types of blockchain and projects are identified and analyzed using literature and case study research. The governance challenges are classified based on a framework consisting of different layers - infrastructure, application, company and institution/country - and stages – design, operate, evolve/crisis. The results show that in various stages and layers different challenges occur and there is a need for different governance models. Furthermore, blockchain applications governance and blockchain infrastructure governance were found to be entangled adding to the challenge. Blockchain and blockchain applications need proper governance, especially there is a need of clear governance models in public permissionless blockchains and its applications. Our research shows a specific need for further research into potentially new governance models for DAO applications on permissionless blockchains, linked to the products and services offered, taking regulatory regimes into account; whereas in other cases, namely permissioned blockchains and other type of applications, existing governance models might often be feasible. For developing new governance models, we recommend learning from the lessons from the open source community.

Simpel Snel en Betrouwbaar Eigenaarschap verhandelen
Ledger Leopard
February 12, 2021

Blockchain technologie gaat over verspreide controle en verantwoordelijkheid. Het verspreiden van verantwoordelijkheid kan op verschillende manieren. Zo bedacht Quintus Willemse 5 jaar geleden een oplossing om ervaren medewerkers aan hun bedrijf te binden en ze mede eigenaar te maken. Een aantal jaren later richt hij samen met Marcel ten Brink The Share Council op. The Share Council maakt het mogelijk om privé aandelen in tokens te verhandelen op een efficiënte en gemakkelijke manier.



Middels het gebruik van blockchain technologie kunnen aandelen worden getokenized. Hierdoor zijn deze makkelijker te verhandelen en kunnen inefficiente & burocratische processen worden vermeden. Dit maakt het ook eenvoudiger voor bedrijven die hun medewerkers mede eigenaar willen maken. Zijn medewerkers die eigenaar zijn van hun bedrijf, beter af?

Tijdens dit webinar bespreken we hoe The Share Council met gebruik van smart contracts, medewerkers eigenaar kan maken & hoe het verspreiden van eigenaarschap kan bijdragen aan:

• Het vergroten van loyaliteit & participatie van medewerkers

• Het vergroten van de stabiliteit van bedrijven

• Toenemende groei van bedrijven & het verkrijgen van extra financiële voordelen

De hoeveelheid data die wordt verzameld is nog nooit zo groot geweest. Cirlinq helpt middels een blockchain applicatie organisaties de volle waarde uit hun data te halen door datagedreven en voorspellend inzicht te geven over gebouwen, producten en bedrijfsmiddelen. Dit leidt tot minder verrassingen, lagere kosten en draagt bij aan een circulaire economie. Bovendien kan productonderhoud veel gerichter en efficiënter plaatsvinden.
