The workshop considered the ethical issues relating to the large-scale take-up of blockchain technology and viewed the main issues as arising from the challenge to ensure accountability and healthy governance over the blockchain and the need for accountability but also avoiding the longer-term adverse impacts of large-scale blockchain adoption.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The workshop was attended by 25 delegates and included 7 presentations on issues relating to the ethical and socio-technical aspects of Blockchain innovation; these were delivered in an informal interactive setting, which invited interventions by the audience and provoked much discussion; this provided an excellent opportunity for exchanges of insight.<\/p>\n
