If you missed the meetup and want a better understanding behind how the European Blockchain Association governance works take a look at the video above. In the video you’ll get a high level overview of the motivations behind governance as it stands as well as diving into the wider implications of decentralized governance of sociotechnical systems.

If you want to dig a little deeper into the EBA governance you should take a look at the our governance summary. If you’re interested in a deep dive into the actual documentation download the EBA governance and read it for yourself.

EBA members are entitled to actually contribute to the governance procedures by making pull requests to the EBA github and actually modifying the code. The goal of decentralized governance is solve problems that the architects of the governance and its technical implementation didn’t anticipate. In that spirit, member contributions to the code are most welcome!

A huge thanks goes out to the meetup organizers, participants and speakers!

The EBA is designed as a so-called Decentralised Semi-Autonomous Organisation DSAO with each separate entity acting as an independent node, connected with others through a blockchain protocol, with a governmental framework as stipulated in the EBA statutes. The EBA is internally organized and powered through blockchain-based payment and accounting protocol leveraging the crypto currency XSC.

The EBA sees itself as a protocol and toolset with the single purpose to serve its mebers. Although the association itself is a central legal entity, the statutues only serve as a necessary link to the real world, with its laws and regulations, as well as its communicative needs. The EBA founders are deeply convinced and inclined to create and operate the EBA as a DSAO as much as possible. The essence of a DSAO is not only the almost complete absence of a central authority, but foremost the implementation of an incentive scheme that incentivizes individual community members to actively participate in and add value to the network. With its blockchain-based payment and ledger protocol RAAY and the crypto currency Crowdstart Coin XSC, EBA members participate in a network that rewards actively and consistently added value to the blockchain ecosystem at large.

We encourage you to join the European Blockchain Association if you are a member of the blockchain community! Contact us, connect with other members and actively participate in building the blockchain ecosystem!
