The First Principles for a Decentralized Future
summary
World Economic Forum’s Global Blockchain Council publishes the Presidio Principles on GitHub, keeps 80+% of its original wording, and accepts community merge requests to tighten definitions. The document names transparency, accountability, privacy, user agency and security by design as core requirements and pairs each principle with promised guidance for enterprises. Teams are already building around Hyperledger Indy and Aries for self‑sovereign digital health credentials; identity work is “swamped” with demand and supply‑chain pilots accelerate.
