Multi-stakeholder working: lessons from the front lineMeTApresents
Multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) involve joint decision-making between state and non-state actors on issues such as rule-setting and implementation. While non-state actors have deeper legitimacy in negotiations, true joint decision-making power may be uncertain. MSIs can be categorized based on their purpose, such as dialogue, institution-building, rule-setting, rule implementation, or rule monitoring. They face challenges including uneven representation and power dynamics between stakeholders, as well as differences in language, culture, and preconceptions. Validation of MSIs' effectiveness requires consideration of both monitoring and the quality of the multi-stakeholder process itself.

A DAO stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organization, and it is an investor-directed venture capital fund organization based on blockchain technology.
What is Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) & How DAO works?Blockchain Council
A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is a fully democratic organization that runs on software rather than being managed through a traditional hierarchy. In a DAO, members are represented by blockchain addresses that can vote on proposals through token holdings. All rules and operations are encoded in smart contracts rather than legal documents. Proposals can include changes in leadership, hiring vendors, issuing shares, or allocating funds. This allows automated and global organizations to operate without centralized control.

Presentation by Shermin Voshmgir & Krzysztof Paruch, Cryptoeconomics Research Lab, Vienna University of Economics
How can we develop instruments and methods suitable for formalization of design, architecture, parameters and behavior of agents in a tokenized network, with focus on purpose-driven tokens that incentivize participants of an ecosystem to achieve cooperative behavior? We will explain how economics and mathematics have already developed various models and approaches to formalize economic motives and mannerisms of rational agents, which have been by national governments, regulators and institutions. We build on the assumption that crypto-economic systems and their rules, agents, nodes, token and governance structures resemble nation states consisting of laws, inhabitants, corporations, currencies and institutions. To what extent can these economic models be applied in crypto-economic applications? The aim ist therefore to model and design crypto-economies with the instruments and tools available in Macro- and Microeconomics. In order to achieve that we will describe the properties of x (one, two,...) current models in Economics and discuss possible and necessary adaptations to capture crypto-economic dynamics.

This document provides an introduction to cryptocurrency and blockchain. It defines cryptocurrency as a digital asset used for exchange that utilizes cryptography to securely transfer transactions recorded on a public ledger. Blockchain is described as the system created for Bitcoin, which is an open-source decentralized ledger maintained across computer nodes. Transactions are grouped into blocks that must be validated by nodes to reach consensus before being added to the chain. The document discusses origins of Bitcoin and blockchain, new related terminology, and potential legal issues and future predictions for the technologies.
This presentation was shared by Cab Morris of the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation on the June 5th at the Banking Digital Currencies seminar.
The document discusses the key principles needed for a sustainable crypto economy and token ecosystem. It argues that self-regulation in the tokenized world means embracing decentralization while avoiding the imperfections of traditional systems. Privacy, payments, access to economic opportunities, and peace of mind are identified as important drivers ("The Four Ps"). Ultimately, the joy of blockchain lies in enabling privacy that supports independent decision making through a bottom-up process of user innovation and consensus among untrusted parties.
Block-chain technology can reduce transaction costs, generate distributed trust, and empower
decentralized platforms, potentially becoming a new foundation for decentralized business
models. In the financial industry, blockchain technology allows for the rise of decentralized
financial services, which tend to be more decentralized, innovative, interoperable, borderless, and
transparent. Empowered by blockchain technology, decentralized financial services have the po-
tential to broaden financial inclusion, facilitate open access, encourage permissionless innovation,
and create new opportunities for entrepreneurs and innovators. In this article, we assess the
benefits of decentralized finance, identify existing business models, and evaluate potential chal-
lenges and limits. As a new area of financial technology, decentralized finance may reshape the
structure of modern finance and create a new landscape for entrepreneurship and innovation,
showcasing the promises and challenges of decentralized business models.

Blockchain for Digital Transformation in Banking Floyd DCosta
The document discusses how blockchain technology can be leveraged for digital transformation in the banking sector. It outlines several potential use cases for blockchain in areas like know-your-customer compliance, cross-border payments, loyalty programs, and financial inclusion. Additionally, it proposes a 5-step methodology for banks to explore blockchain opportunities and develop innovative solutions.
Blockchain and competition policy poses challenges for defining dominance, anticipating practices, and imposing sanctions. The document discusses these challenges and proposes options for defining dominance based on decentralization, legal status, market power, governance, and applications. It finds public blockchains less prone to anti-competitive practices due to transparency, while private blockchains pose high risks. Predatory innovation could alter technical elements to limit competition. Regulators should enter blockchain cautiously with rules of good conduct and safe harbors to promote innovation over unwarranted intervention.

Blockchain Beyond the Hype. A Practical Framework for Business Leaders. This common sense and practical framework is designed
to assist executives in understanding whether blockchain
is an appropriate and helpful tool for their business needs.
It starts from the premise that blockchain is merely a
technology – much like many others that are already used
in society – and like other technologies it is as much about
change management and careful attention to the economics
and business models of industries and companies involved
as it is about technology evangelism. For any organization,
blockchain technology should not be a goal in itself but a
tool deployed to achieve specific purposes.

This document provides an overview of blockchain and initial coin offerings (ICOs). It discusses common myths about blockchain, such as the ideas that blockchain is just for Bitcoin, proof of work is the only consensus method, and that all data needs to be stored on a blockchain. The document also covers blockchain use cases, validation of blockchains, and the benefits and challenges of ICOs as a method of fundraising. It aims to demystify blockchain and provide essential information about this emerging technology.
Shaping Successful DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) by Cosdec AlphaCosdec Alpha
Digital currencies are decentralized and cannot be controlled by a single entity; inspired by this emerged the concept of DAO, Decentralized Autonomous Organization, an organization governed by a set of rules written in smart contracts. This organization is controlled by its participating members. All of the financial records, decisions, and any decision-making factors are transparent in a DAO because all of its actions are recorded on the blockchain. DAOs are typically formed to bring like-minded people together. There is no CEO or manager, and all the decisions are governed by the group’s approval. DAOs have a treasury that is inaccessible to anyone without the permission of the group. This guide is your entry point to a successful DAO Strategy.
What’s Included?
- Getting Started with DAOs
- Decentralized & Autonomous Structures
- Managing the Risks of a DAO
- Running a DAO and much more…
This document discusses how blockchain technology could be used to rebuild finance from the bottom up by enabling small and medium enterprises to raise capital through issuing liquid, publicly traded securities. It argues that current sources of external financing for small businesses are inadequate and that regulations, while well-intentioned, have discouraged public securities issues by smaller firms that could potentially manage them effectively. The document introduces the concept of cryptographic assets, which use blockchain technology and smart contracts to automate accounting, management, and reporting in a way that reduces costs and regulatory burdens compared to traditional securities.

1. The document discusses how blockchain can be used to create a single shared source of truth between multiple parties who don't know or trust each other without relying on a centralized authority. It outlines key elements like ownership, traceability, smart contracts, and transparency.
2. Blockchain examples are provided like tracking asset ownership and transfers. Distributed networks and consensus are discussed.
3. When approaching blockchain projects, the document recommends finding common business processes with trust/validation challenges and rethinking workflows rather than just adding blockchain. It stresses governance and collaboration over immediate ROI.
Blockchain, whose origins are blended (and often blurred) with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, is a disruptive technology with the potential to transform how goods and services are exchanged over the internet. Blockchain allows complex transactions to be carried out transparently and securely, on a distributed interaction model that ousts multiple established intermediaries, eradicating the control held by central authorities in traditional methods of digital transaction.

Bitcoin Blockchain
Introduction
The biggest problem facing the Bitcoin community today is the political in-fighting and it’s potential to split the blockchain. Right now, Bitcoin has many advantages in the market, including being the most well know cryptocurrency, being the most supported fiat-to-cryptocurrency exchange method and being the largest blockchain by market cap. While Bitcoin is not innovating as quickly as other blockchains, they are making a good attempt at being the go-to cryptocurrency for investors. So long as no one rocks the boat, they can maintain this momentum. However, if a failure happens with the Segwit transition and the chain splits, all of this momentum can be halted.
The problem comes down to a lack of leadership. Since the departure of many key figures in the Bitcoin community, most importantly Satoshi Nakamoto, there is a distinct lack of moral authority around the community. Instead, you’re seeing a lot of foul play and high visibility exits with no one leading the ship. If Bitcoin is to survive unscathed, they need a strong figure to re-emerge and start directing action.
Challenge Facing Bitcoin Blockchain
Slower Transactions
One of the biggest challenge before Bitcoin is the issue of slower transactions. The duration for a transaction to be approved has increased drastically (CryptoScores, 2018). This has made Bitcoin take a hit. A number of businesses, who were initially very enthusiastic about Bitcoin, have stopped accepting Bitcoin. The issue of slower transaction was always around the corner since 2009. And, this only adds to the misery that how did the developers fail to come up with a solution until now. The average time taken for a Bitcoin transaction to be verified and approved is 43 minutes. And, there is a possibility that some Bitcoin transactions remain unverified forever.
The reason behind this is the transaction fee. Those who offer higher transaction fee gets verified before others who do not. This leads to formation of a queue in the list of transactions. This becomes painful for those who pay less or do not pay transaction fee. They are kept in waiting for hours and in very few cases, for even days to get their transaction completed or verified. This has enabled other cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin to eat up the market of Bitcoin.
Expensive Transactions
Every transaction through blockchain is subjected to a transaction fee which creates a queue. The order of business changes according to the highest payer. In simple words, whoever pays the highest amount for transaction fee gets their transaction approved before other. So, if a person has to send the money across instantly, he/she will need to pay an extraordinary amount of money which will directly make the whole transfer expensive (Shi, 2019). .
Similar to Blockchain Governance - Chris Berg (20)
This document discusses intrusion detection systems, including common attack patterns like port, ping, and login sweeps. It outlines Snort as an example network-based intrusion detection system and provides Snort rule examples. Different types of intrusion detection systems are also covered, along with considerations for host-based versus network-based placement.
This document outlines key network protocols including ARP, SYN, FTP, ICMP, DNS, port scans, SYN floods, and the application layer. It discusses how these protocols work from the bit level up through data encapsulation using Ethernet, IP, and TCP. Specific topics covered include the three-way handshake, how ARP maps IP addresses to MAC addresses, SYN scans, the FTP protocol, ICMP, DNS name resolution, types of port scans, and SYN floods as a denial of service attack.
This document discusses memory, big data, and security information and event management (SIEM). It outlines how a SIEM infrastructure can be modeled after the human brain's memory to gather and analyze large amounts of data. Specifically, it proposes that machines should be adaptive, interactive, iterative and stateful, and contextual to effectively learn from data over time and identify security threats, similar to how the human brain functions. The document also mentions directed graphs and the five V's of big data - volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value.
This document discusses different types and formats of data including unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data. It explains that unstructured data has no formal structure, semi-structured data has some defined tags but not a formal schema, and structured data has a formal schema and relationships defined. The document also covers topics like data encoding, compression, magic numbers, and different data formats like CSV, JSON, XML, and more.
Threat hunters collect internal and external data to establish hypotheses about potential threats. They hunt for information to identify real threats and determine an appropriate response. Open source intelligence includes data from social networks, crowd-sourced sites, wikis, and photographs that can provide information about people, organizations, technologies and more. Tools like Google dorking, the Wayback Machine and Shodan allow searching open webpages and networks for intelligence.
The document discusses converting data into information using NumPy and Pandas Python libraries. It covers topics like arrays and matrices, different data formats, NumPy operations for linear algebra and math, and Pandas for working with labeled data and performing analyses like sorting, filtering, and correlations. The goal is to understand how to structure and analyze data using these Python tools.
The document discusses information security, defense mechanisms, and risks. It outlines concepts like data, information, knowledge and wisdom. It describes kill chain models used to investigate security incidents and defenses that use layers like deterrence, detection, protection, reaction, recovery, and auditing. The document also covers risks, costs, benefits, and harm from physical, economic, psychological and reputational impacts.
This document discusses cybersecurity, intelligence, and the differences between human and machine intelligence. It provides an overview of cybersecurity job roles and frameworks. It also covers types of intelligence including naturalist, musical, logical-mathematical, existential, and inter-personal. Humans are described as having advantages in areas like creativity, perception, memory, verbal skills, and reasoning compared to current computer capabilities. Motivations for cyberattacks include entertainment, hacktivism, financial gain, spying, and revenge.
The document discusses ARTiFACTS, a platform that uses blockchain technology to provide attribution for research works. It allows researchers to establish proof of authorship, protect and share research materials, and receive valid attribution and credit for any research output. Researchers, scholars, and publishers can integrate with the ARTiFACTS open platform. It provides a case study of its partnership with the journal JBBA, where researchers can link supporting files and publications to receive citations.
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.

Blockchain Governance - Chris Berg
1. 1
Blockchain Governance:
What we can Learn from the
Economics of Corporate Governance
Darcy Allen
RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub
Chris Berg
RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub
August 2018
2. 2
Motivation
• Bitcoin has a governance crisis (De Filippi and Loveluck 2016)
o NY Consensus Agreement
o User Activated Soft Fork
• Should governance be ‘on chain’ (Ehrsam 2017) or ‘off chain’ (Buterin 2016, Zamfir 2017)?
Should it be ‘formal’ or ‘informal’?
• How does governance evolve? (Alston 2019, Berg, Berg and Novak 2019)
• Clarification: we’re looking at the governance of blockchains, not governance by blockchains
3. 3
Findings
We use the economics of corporate governance and the theory of the firm to explore
blockchain governance and find:
1. All blockchains have ‘governance’ – governance debate should seek to be descriptive
before it is prescriptive
2. Who is a stakeholder in blockchain governance is poorly defined or understood
3. Three elements that contribute to blockchain governance
o Endogenous governance
o Exogenous governance
o The needs of bootstrapping
4. Distributed governance is effected by agents all up and down the blockchain stack
4. 4
What is governance?
• Governance describes the processes by which groups coordinate activity within an
institutional environment
• They seek to make decisions, implement those decisions, and monitor their
implementation and outcomes
5. 5
Who are stakeholders in governance?
• Shareholder model describes the firm as a nexus of contracts between shareholders,
management and employees (Alchian & Demsetz 1972; Coase 1960)
o Blockchains are a multisided market between buyers, sellers, and validators (and
stakers) (Berg Davidson and Potts 2020)
• Stakeholder model says a wider variety of groups and interests should be taken into
consideration (Bowen 1953)
o But who is a stakeholder?
• Discussions of blockchain governance have typically identified relevant stakeholders (ie
tokenholders, miners) and built governance systems around those
6. 6
Endogenous and exogenous governance
• Blockchains have endogenous governance mechanisms determined by the consensus
mechanism
o These shape relative bargaining power between stakeholder groups instrumentally
o Process of discovery: from Bitcoin’s miner-centric governance to the primary of economic
nodes
o Nexus of contracts model
o These can be intentionally or unintentionally designed
• Blockchains can have exogenous governance mechanisms
o Formal and informal institutions that can be designed or evolve in response to the demands
for legitimacy from different stakeholder groups
o This includes off-chain governance (forums, mailing lists, conferences) and on-chain
governance (voting mechanisms for protocol amendment)
7. 7
The needs of bootstrapping
• Blockchains are not born decentralised
o They have to be built, coded, white paper written, and hyped
o Blockchains have a proto-entrepreneurial stage and organizational stage
• The role of founder(s) forms an exogenous governance mechanism that shapes future governance
of the network
• For example Bitcoin:
o Satoshi’s “vision” is a powerful norm or point of ideological contest (depending on where you
sit)
o Satoshi’s hands on governance until 2010, disappearance post 2010 shaped Bitcoin
governance
• Exogenous governance determined by implicit contracts (sometimes described as culture) between
stakeholders
8. 8
The ends of blockchain governance
• In the shareholder model, a firm is a form of team production (Alchian and Demsetz 1972)
o It is an intentional system with a group purpose (to produce, to remit profits to
shareholders)
o Governance is the task of ensuring team production functions (minimising shirking,
expropriation etc)
• Blockchains function as shared economic infrastructure:
o End 1: to survive
o End 2: to increase adoption
• Similarities to internet governance, but competitive chains and tokens create significantly
different dynamics
