The NETHerlands Blockchain Coalition has been presented it’s first Blockchain Research Agenda by its ambassador, Rob van Gijzel, on Tuesday.

NETHerlands Blockchain Coalition, which was created by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy as a part of the TopTeam ICT research agenda, aims to research blockchain technology and analyze the impact and potential of blockchain on society. There are three different concerns that the agenda hopes to cover to allow blockchain technology to have a “positive societal potential.”

Trustworthiness is the first area that is mentioned, which includes trust in social and legal institutions and personal trust. The agenda states that these social and legal institutions could “govern the transition to blockchain technology, cohabitate peacefully with it, or might be replaced by it.”

The importance of personal trust includes providing transparency on the accuracy and security of the information on the blockchain.
