确保分布式账本技术治理工作的公平性、互操作性、透明度与信任度,并加速对该项技术做出必要的调整,以便充分发挥其潜力。
处于早期发展阶段的区块链技术不仅能够实现分散、安全的信息存储和传输,而且还能成为一款强大的追踪与交易工具,有助于最大限度地减少分歧、消除腐败、增强信任并为用户赋能。基于分布式账本技术(DLT)的加密货币尽管仍处于萌芽阶段,但却已成为了新财富创造的潜在途径,并对整个金融市场造成了颠覆性影响。从能源、航运到媒体,几乎每个行业都在积极探索更多革命性的用例。虽然分布式账本技术有望改造整个系统,但其同时也面临着诸多挑战,例如缺乏互操作性、遭遇安全威胁、权力过于集中,以及因近期过度宣传而导致人们不愿意尝试。
针对该项技术采取系统性、包容性方法有助于确保每个人⸺从社会最边缘化人群到最有权势的群体⸺都能受益于其变革潜力。
通过与合作伙伴及会员合作,我们的平台正积极推动采取系统性、包容性的分布式账本技术治理方法,以确保每个人都能从这项强大的技术中获益。
