The document discusses the Proof of Authority (PoA) blockchain project called LEDGER. LEDGER's mission is to empower citizens to control their own data by promoting alternative decentralized models where data is owned by citizens and wealth created from data is distributed equally. LEDGER is funding 32 projects building minimum viable products (MVPs) focused on privacy, open source software, and data sovereignty. The projects receive up to €200k in equity-free funding and support over 12 months to develop their MVPs across six sectors. LEDGER's principles require projects to build solutions to real problems using decentralization, have potential for large-scale impact, and balance radical innovation with business validation and sustainability of MVPs.
