Proof of Good? Blockchain Tech, Civic Tech and Social Impact
summary
Panel describes concrete work: a push to give 230 million unregistered children digital identities via Identity 2020, experiments to put land titling and a carbon‑credit marketplace on a ledger, and a push to turn miners into an API‑driven Bitfury transaction engine. Technical approaches include Enigma sharding and secure multi‑party computation, plus encryption and trusted computing to avoid “garbage on chain.” Goal is standardized APIs and real‑world pilots with banks and governments; some pilots are running, others are planned.
