📢 We are delighted to announce that the Blockchain Associations Forum (#BAF) 6th Annual Summit will take place on 9 September 2026. Dubbed the "united nations of blockchain", BAF is a unique global consortium of blockchain associations from 52 countries across six continents — the world's largest trans-national think tank dedicated to advancing blockchain, Web3 and digital asset technologies. Each year, the Summit brings together #policymakers, regulators, national association #leaders, academics and #industry pioneers to share progress, exchange policy insights, and shape the future of responsible technology adoption worldwide. 👉 To understand the breadth and depth of the BAF's global impact, take a moment to scroll through the attached — six years of summits, policy contributions, research and international partnerships that have helped shape the global blockchain conversation. #BAF2026 #Blockchain #Web3 #DigitalAssets #Policy #BBA

🌐 Yesterday was International Workers’ Day. Are you an Employee in the Blockchain sector? Check out this 2020 Issue of The JBBA, exploring Institutional Economics of Blockchain Workforce. Link in comments.

🌐 Yesterday was International Workers’ Day. Do you have the Labour Market data for Blockchain workforce? ➡️ Do you know how many people work for Decentralised Autonomous Organisations?? ➡️ Do you know what they earn? ➡️ Do you know that only 11% are women? The evidence from The JBBA research, is sobering: ✅ 81% earn less than $5,000 per month ✅ 50% do not rely on DAO income at all ✅ 63% depend on health insurance from a traditional employer or family plan ✅ Only 11% are women. 🌍 DAOs are the frontier of blockchain-based organisation: locationless, pseudonymous, borderless. They are quietly redefining what work means in the digital age. Even after International Workers’ Day, the call is clear: build a decentralised economy that works for everyone, not just the few. #InternationalWorkersDay #DAO #FutureOfWork #Blockchain #JBBA #EvidenceBasedBlockchain

📍NEW JBBA RESEARCH ALERT: 🌐 Decentralised finance manages billions of pounds of public money each day. Uniswap alone processes around $1.44 billion in trades every day — roughly $8.15 billion a week, and about $50 billion a month. Roughly $3.5 billion of ordinary investors' money is sitting in Uniswap's liquidity pools at any moment. Total Value Locked across DeFi sits between $95 billion and $140 billion. On platforms like Uniswap, ordinary people can deposit a matched pair of cryptocurrencies — for example, Ethereum and a dollar-pegged stablecoin — into a shared pool. Other users then trade against that pool, and the depositors earn a small fee on every trade. 🔗 This paper tackles a costly problem in decentralised finance: ➡️ Roughly half of all liquidity providers on Uniswap V3 lose money, largely because they have no reliable way to estimate returns before committing capital. The authors build the first unified mathematical framework that predicts what an LP should expect to earn. It models returns as fee income minus impermanent loss, under realistic price dynamics. ✍🏽 Two results anchor the work: a closed-form formula for expected impermanent loss across any volatility, time horizon and position width, and a fee-income model that separates earnings from ordinary user trades and arbitrage trades, linking arbitrage activity to the pool’s fee tier through a “variance-balance” mechanism. Gas costs are built in. The framework is validated against twelve months of on-chain Ethereum data on the #ETH / #USDC pool. Three findings stand out. ➡️ First, the popular heuristic that narrower ranges always earn more is wrong: in high-volatility regimes, a wide Uniswap V2-style position outperforms narrow V3 positions because impermanent loss outweighs the extra fees. ➡️ Second, range placement matters more than range width — an optimally placed position earned 37% APY against 29% for a symmetric position of the same width and 35% for V2. ➡️ Third, every volatility regime has an optimal fee tier; pushing fees higher stops paying off beyond a clear threshold. ✍🏽 By Roman Vlasov, Vladimir Gorgadze and Artem Barger. ⏩⏩ Published open access in The JBBA:

🔗 Cryptography secures the ledger. It doesn’t secure human behaviour. 💹 1/3rd of users in a blockchain-based e-commerce marketplace would cheat, and the answer isn’t more cryptography. It’s better incentives that make honesty the dominant strategy. ⏩ Using a Bayesian game-theoretic model, they show #token rewards for honest reporting produce a unique equilibrium where both buyers and sellers tell the truth.

📍UK Public Accounts Committee Launches Digital ID Inquiry The Public Accounts Committee has opened a new inquiry into digital identity systems, as the UK government advances plans for a national digital ID framework by 2029. The inquiry will examine the purpose, risks and lessons from previous schemes, taking evidence from officials, user groups and campaigners. The government has confirmed the scheme will not be mandatory but will form part of a broader system for verifying rights such as employment eligibility. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) scrutinised the GOV.UK Verify, the flagship digital programme for government, in 2019. Its report found that the system was failing its users, having missed all of its original performance targets. Members of the public using the system were hampered by a catalogue of problems, including difficulty signing up and accessing multiple government services. ⏩⏩ In November last year, BBA wrote to the Prime Minister asking to explore a #Blockchain-based Identity solution:

📍Yesterday: medical and genetic data of 500,000 UK citizens listed for sale in China. 📍Today: Data of 300,000 passports leaked and "offered for sale on the dark web". ⏩⏩ We need a technology that: → Puts citizens in control of their own data → Uses decentralised identifiers and verifiable credentials → Secures access through cryptography, not database permissions → Makes mass theft mathematically unviable Oh, wait. That technology exists. It’s called blockchain. The question is no longer whether the technology works. It’s how much more of our data we’re willing to lose before we deploy it. #Blockchain #DigitalIdentity #SelfSovereignIdentity #CyberSecurity

🚨 BREAKING: Confidential health data of 500,000 UK Biobank participants have been listed for sale in China. Technology Minister Ian Murray confirmed the breach to the House of Commons this morning. One of Britain’s landmark scientific programmes and half a million volunteers who trusted the system. It has collected intimate details - including whole body scans, #DNA sequences and their medical records - from hundreds of thousands of volunteers for over two decades. The project has led to more than 18,000 scientific publications. ⏩⏩ This is exactly why we need Bio-banks on the #Blockchain. The British Blockchain Association has been advocating for #genetic and #bio-bank data to be secured via distributed ledger technology since 2018. Our peer-reviewed evidence base, published in the JBBA, sets out the architecture: → Tamper-evident audit trails → Patient-controlled consent → Cryptographic access logs → Immutable provenance Centralised repositories of sensitive biological data are systemically fragile. The question was never if they would be breached - only when.
