PROJECT: Inventory digital identity & blockchain laws #114
Description
A good project for non-engineering interns, in particular those with library science or pre-law eduction.
Discover and compare different US state & international laws in regards to digital signatures, digital identity, and blockchain-related technologies, and create an open source repository with catealogue.
- What jurisdictions already have laws or regulations in place? Where can we find the official version?
- Digital signatures
- Use of digital records on the blockchain
- Cryptocurrency related laws
- IP (copyright, trademark, etc.) on blockchain (not just NFTs)
- DAO-related
- Digital Privacy & Digital Human Rights related (in particular, digital freedom of speech, right to assemble, and right to transaction).
- etc.
- What jurisdictions are in progress on various laws? Who is involved, when are hearings being held, where are the drafts?
- Who is offering model legislation? Advocating for changes?
- What are the various definitions? How are they different? Are some better than others?
- Where are laws or regulations (or proposals) risking locking in various solutions?
- Who is doing more innovative work in different areas?
- etc.
We have some practicing lawyers that are likely to be able to mentor on this project, and there are opportunities to influence legislation in Wyoming, Texas, Argentina, and more in the coming year.

May I assist with this project? I am based in west Africa, therefore I can begin my research there before venturing into other jurisdictions.

@collinkinn is leading a project collecting and comparing legal definitions like digital asset, blockchain, digital signature, etc. It would be great to add to that from more countries, even it translated by Google. In particular the francophone legal traditions might be interesting.

I am trying to capture as many commonly expressed "blockchain" words as possible, but the primary words for research right now: blockchain, digital asset, virtual currency, smart contract, and private key. While this list is certainly not exhaustive, I view these as a good starting place to compare the different definitions.
