My name is Juan, originally from Colombia, based in Berlin for 6 years. I have a legal background and work since 2017 full time in blockchain projects.
I am co-leading the project of Blue Swan Academy. We are building an open blockchain law academy. The mission is to educate and train legal professionals in blockchain tech. We believe that the legal service market will grow and that the skill set requires by legal professionals will change. We want to close the current skill and knowledge gap.
[ ] How you got first into Ethereum: I was working for a legal tech project and got acquainted with Ethereum in 2017. I immediately recognized its potential for transforming the legal service industry, an industry with huge social importance but often inefficient, dysfunctional, adverse to innovation. What started as a part-time hobby quickly turned into a full-time obsession which had a radical impact in my career. Shortly after I dedicated full time to blockchain projects. I believe that blockchain and in particular the Ethereum network, as the leading smart contract platform, will force legal professionals to execute value-generating tasks instead of rent-seeking ones.
[ ] What brings you to ETHBerlin: Explore concrete governance and legal use cases to build on top of Ethereum. Support massive use of blockchain tech for the legal profession
Idea description
Build a prototype around one of these topics: (corporate) governance / collective decision making (Aragon / Open law), decentralized justice (Kleros), smart securities (finance.openlaw), tokenization. These are examples of exciting, revolutionary protocols on top of Etherum already on mainnet.
