Thank you for the opportunity to speak with LNET and Isma on the role of international blockchain standards developed by organisations like ISO and participated by 50+ countries and experts from those in Technical Committee 307 (TC307). As an industry, we continue to make great progress, collaboratively developing international standards that enable the mainstream adoption of blockchain technology. My focus has always been on solving blockchain interoperability at a global level, through standards set by industry and adopted by industry. ISO was the ideal body to achieve this. The establishment of ISO TC307 in 2016, following groundwork that began in 2014, was also the genesis of the idea that led to the creation of @quant_network in 2015 to make blockchains interoperable, enterprise-grade, and ready for mainstream use. As the Convenor of Working Group 7 (Interoperability), I’m pleased to share that the ISO interoperability standard is nearing publication expected by late this year or early next year. We’ve now submitted the final draft for DTS review and approval. It’s been a long journey since 2017, but every step has been worth it to harmonise and standardise blockchain technology worldwide.
