Blockchain Commons #SmartCustody White Papers

#SmartCustody White Papers is a set of standalone white papers that have also been compiled in the #SmartCustody Book.

At this point, the White Papers may be a somewhat older version of the text than the Book, which also contains papers on a variety of other topics; we are undecided on whether we should maintain this separate repo of individual papers.

Additional Information

The following files contain…
