COALA

COALA is a research and development initiative composed of academic institutions, and lawyers, computer scientists, and entrepreneurs, who are thinking collectively about the challenges and opportunities of emerging blockchain technologies and how they will affect the way we live in modern society. We conduct multistakeholder research and dialogue to build the future of the Internet and inform how society will look like in a world of ubiquitous connectivity, decentralized networks and interconnected devices. COALA represents the blockchain community at the UN as the IGF's Dynamic Coalition for Blockchain Technologies, and also represents the W3C community groups for crypto-equity (crypto-tokens) and COALA IP (blockchain-based IP protocols).
