About the EuroDCA
The European Distributed Computer Association (EuroDCA) is a not-for-profit professional membership Association, formed in March 2014.
Goals
- provides advocacy and lobbies on behalf of small to medium size companies across Europe who rely on distributed computing technologies to deliver their services to customers and society.
- makes it easier for governments, businesses and entrepreneurs to engage with the small and medium companies who hold practical and deep expertise in distributed computing technologies.
- contributes to the development of global standards by enabling companies that generally have limited influence, to speak as one through the representation focused by Association membership.
Impact and Structure
EuroDCA is a membership organisation. It represents organisations that are on the forefront of the development and practical adoption of distributed computing systems.
Impact
To date, the EuroDCA has been extremely successful in its mission.
From its earliest beginnings it brought expert knowledge and forward vision to Governments, regulators and the wider community.
Practical advocacy by practitioners was a fundamental driver to the acceptance of these technologies as a force for good, rather than simply a threat. The Association brought together complementary initiatives from around the world.
Global Reach
Memoranda of Association were struck with like-minded organisations in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Canada, China, France, Korea, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Argentina, UK and the USA.
International, coordinated advocacy for technologies such as distributed ledgers & blockchain, tokenisation, sharded storage, cryptography, DOAs, zero-knowledge proofs, and digital value systems has enabled the application of these important advances within a largely supportive regulatory regime.
Structure
The EuroDCA has company members with products and services that simply need a level playing field to be successful across a range of industries.
The Association members vote to establish a board of individuals empowered to advocate, lobby and develop standards on behalf of the member organisations. Our advocates have established themselves in influential positions where the interests of small and medium sized businesses can be advanced.
It has advocated for sensible law relating to smart contracts, and helped advance a consistent accounting approach through the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
