Blockchain is a type of technology. It’s as simple as that. It can be thought of as a general ledger with features that can enable more trust in the record-keeping process. Crypto Policy Lab will help you to understand why blockchain tech is considered “cutting edge” with the help of real world use cases.

Not all blockchains are created equal. The design is important.

Crypto has many meanings. It has been informally adopted to refer to digital assets that use blockchain tech (a.k.a., cryptocurrencies). Crypto can also refer to digital ecosystems that use blockchain tech (a.k.a., cryptonetworks).

Crypto Policy Lab will help to navigate these terms, which fall under the broader world of web3.

Web3 can be thought of as the third stage of the internet. Stage 1 (a.k.a., web1) allowed users to read information. Stage 2 (a.k.a., web2) allowed users to read and write (e.g., interact on social media). Stage 3 (a.k.a, web3) allows users to read, write, and own.

There are numerous reasons for why digital ownership is important. Crypto Policy Lab will explore this area in detail.

Web3 is our future, and tech innovation will continue to grow exponentially. We must make sure that we don’t leave others behind. Now is the best time to learn and begin to think through key issues that will have important implications on our collective society.

Whether we like it or not, public policy influences all of our lives, which is why it’s important to stay informed and engaged. If done right, regulation can incentivize innovation while also supporting a safe and inclusive environment. Informed policy can lead to better outcomes.

At Crypto Policy Lab we believe in innovating first, evaluating often, and cultivating inclusion.
