The Group’s mandate is to research and publish informed perspectives around the blockchain ecosystem, track, guide and influence policy and regulations in this space, and become an inclusive, neutral forum for regulators and policy-makers to convene with academics, professionals, and technologists across Stanford and the wider Blockchain community, while its initial focus will be in the areas of regulatory frameworks and ethical standards around token generation events (also known as ICOs or Initial Coin Offerings), legal issues and opportunities presented by blockchain technologies and their intersection with existing legal frameworks, smart contracts and governance design for token ecosystems, and legal empowerment and legal services use cases for blockchain technologies.
