Fennie Wang, Primavera De Filippi, Alexis Collomb, Klara Sok

Mar 16, 2018 - This project digs into the regulatory implications of privately funding public blockchain-based resources, some of which qualify as an ecosystem such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, some as a decentralized application (Dapp), and some as a regulated security (e.g., The DAO), according the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Coalition of Automated Legal Applications describes various legal solutions, such as simple agreement for future tokens, that could support ecosystems that are innovative, streamlined, and fair for all stakeholders.

Nov 10, 2017 - In this research, Park explains that transparency is a design choice. Whether the blockchain is public and permissionless, such as the Bitcoin or Ethereum blockchains, or private and permissioned, such as Ripple or Hyperledger implementations, transactions are traceable with attribution of actions to identifiers.

Park argues for public disclosure even on permissioned blockcha...
