Blockchain and LGPD: The need for governance

"The question should be not only how to regulate, but also how it can contribute to improving the markets in which it is used."

This article inaugurates a series of three publications. They analyze the impacts of blockchain technology on different branches of law, especially in relation to the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) . In this first article, the relationship between this new technology and law in general was analyzed in order to verify any existing problems and the need for regulation of the matter.

Blockchain and LGPD: The different applications in law.

"The potential uses of blockchains are multiple, ranging from smart contracts to the Internet of Things."

In this second article of the series on blockchain, law, and personal data protection , we examined the potential of this technology's relationship with various legal areas, pointing out its advantages and disadvantages and identifying the risks and benefits of its adoption. Following this, we analyze how blockchain applies to several specific sectors, such as securities, smart contracts, cybersecurity, medicine, logistics, real estate registries, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Blockchain and LGPD: Points of tension

"Despite its potential, technology presents challenges for legal data protection systems."

In this final article of the series on law and blockchain , we examined the relationship between blockchain and the protection of personal data, verifying the existing points of tension between this right and the technology, and we will delve deeper into the problem of identifying and distributing responsibility among data processing agents in the use of blockchain.
