What does the GDPR mean for public blockchains, dApps, smart contracts, and privacy tech?
More than you might think — and possibly more than the EU even intended.
This crash course breaks down the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in plain language and sharpens it for Web3. Taught by Vyara Savova, Senior Policy Lead at the European Crypto Initiative (EUCI), it’s your essential guide to understanding how European data law applies to decentralised systems — and why ignoring it could put your project at serious risk.
You’ll learn:
- What “personal data” really means in a blockchain context
- Why wallet addresses and node operations may trigger GDPR obligations
- How to (legally) process data in decentralised environments
- What the 2025 EDPB Guidelines could mean for public blockchains
- And most importantly, how builders like you can shape the future of crypto regulation in Europe
The course is free, practical, and designed for developers, researchers, and privacy advocates who care about decentralisation — and want to keep it legal.
