Here are some of the December highlights we felt we should share with you.

Equity Token Standard Workshop: the Beginning of a Wonderful Journey

Beginning a saga with an anecdote is not exactly customary, but we will do it anyway because the Equity Token Workshop in Brussels of which, we’re proud to say, we were a part, in just two days has grown into Digital Assets Standards Association. The Association, in turn, will most definitely continue to mutate and with time morph into something else entirely, promising us a never-ending saga of hatching a plan to create a single globally accepted standard for equity tokens.

So if passwords are impossible to protect on their own what do we do? Read more.
