Many communities and organizations explore applications of blockchain, DLTs, Web3, NFTs.. for sustainable development or so-called "blockchain for good", including the Cardano community with its Foundation be also SustainableADA, the Climate Change community, many projects active in this space, etc..
Blockchain for good is sometimes hard to define. We need stronger definitions, principles, design and ethical guidelines which fit the Cardano values and mission and help people speak the same language and defend the same values.
A recent movement to set principles has already been initiated by Positiveblockchain.io <https://medium.com/positiveblockchain/call-for-interest-to-co-design-alignment-principles-on-blockchain-for-good-a22623629c1f> The goal is to gather as many organizations as possible behind these principles.
This is a great opportunity for Cardano to join this movement and be a strong leader in co-designing and supporting these principles.
Cardano will be a strong co-designer of the Blockchain for good Principles
- Strong contribution to setting these principles
- by doing research and collecting inputs on ethical guidelines and principles applied to blockchain for good
- by participating to the workshops and surveys in April-June 2022
- Reach-out and campaign to get inputs and votes from the Cardano communities
- This can be done prior to the workshops organized with Positiveblockchain with other communities and stakeholders
- The survey will be advertised broadly to the Cardano communities
The Principles in Blockchain for sustainable development are aiming at setting a new standard for not just the whole of Cardano’s ecosystem and communities, but also the whole blockchain/web3 ecosystems as well as all organizations seeking to leverage these technologies for their work in social or environmental impact.
Having Cardano as a strong supporter and co-designer of these principles will ensure Cardano continue to be a trendsetter in global standards for a better and more responsible adoption of blockchain technology.
Low engagement -> we have involved key people in various Cardano community meetups (Cardano 4 Climate, Sustainable ADA), leveraged influencers in the blockchain community, used the resources and leadership of the Cardano Foundation who have already expressed they are interested to support.
