The World Economic Forum has launched a new, first-of-its-kind resource — Redesigning Trust: Blockchain Deployment Toolkit (Toolkit) — to help organizations responsibly develop and deploy blockchain technology based on their business needs. The resource aims to address the need for more resilience, trust, and efficiency in global supply chains.

The Toolkit reflects the ongoing efforts of numerous experts at the intersection of law and technology to document blockchain deployment best practices. It contains 14 modules addressing key topics, considerations, and challenges implicated in blockchain deployments. Latham lawyers both drafted and contributed to sections on Consortium Governance, Data Protection, Personal Data Handling, and Legal and Regulatory Compliance.
