DESCRIPTION:As AI capabilities accelerate and questions of digital sovereig
 nty sharpen across Europe\, Switzerland is uniquely positioned to lead the
  continent's response — a model designed from a place that has practised
  decentralised coordination since 1291.\n\nThe Ethereum Foundation's new m
 andate declares its CROPS principles — censorship resistance\, open-sour
 ce\, privacy\, and security — as preconditions\, not aspirations\, while
  betting that the Foundation's success will be measured by how unnecessary
  it becomes. This subtraction philosophy converges with Switzerland's own 
 trajectory: the EMBAG law mandating open-source government software\, the 
 Greater Zürich Area hosting Europe's densest AI cluster\, and a growing n
 etwork-society movement using seven centuries of direct democracy and cant
 onal sovereignty as a sandbox for experimentation with Vitalik Buterin's d
 /acc framework.\n\nThe result could become a credible European blueprint f
 or sanctuary technologies — ZK proofs\, decentralised identity\, encrypt
 ed computation\, onchain mortgages\, DAO coordination primitives\, communi
 ty owned technology hubs and accelerators — all built to protect individ
 ual agency and local sovereignty\, rather than concentrate control.\n\nThi
 s panel brings together builders\, researchers\, and policy minds to ask w
 hether Switzerland can pioneer the model that the rest of Europe will need
 : how Ethereum protocol development\, DAO governance\, and sanctuary techn
 ologies can mature into the defensive infrastructure for an open continent
  — and what Switzerland's role can be over the next decade.

DESCRIPTION:Public blockchains have been described as incompatible with EU 
 privacy law because on-chain data is often perceived as personal data. How
 ever\, under EU privacy laws\, whether data is personal depends on context
 \, on who receives it\, and on whether a person can realistically be ident
 ified.\n\nThe talk presents a practical way to think about “identifiabil
 ity” during system design. Instead of legal abstractions\, it uses conce
 pts builders already work with: what is visible\, who has access\, what ad
 ditional data would be needed\, and how feasible identification actually i
 s.\n\nBy examining common data flows on public permissionless blockchains\
 , the talk shows how the same data can have different privacy implications
  for different actors. The aim is not to label systems as compliant or non
 -compliant\, but to give teams tools to assess privacy exposure while plan
 ning and building.
