Polkadot’s Decentralized Futures program has awarded a grant to the blockchain platform Logion, recognized for its innovative approach to integrating digital assets with legally backed frameworks, effectively transforming these assets into legal evidence.
Logion is pioneering a method it refers to as “proof of law,” which aims to provide users with a transparent and secure way to manage digital assets. This initiative instills confidence among users by ensuring that their digital holdings are underpinned by legal recognition.
The Web3 Foundation, the organization responsible for the development of Polkadot, has allocated a prize pool of 10 million DOT tokens—approximately $65 million—to support the implementation of the Join-Accumulate Machine (JAM) upgrade within the Polkadot ecosystem. Additionally, the Decentralized Futures program intends to distribute $20 million and 5 million DOT tokens to support projects that contribute to the growth of the Polkadot network.
Funding opportunities are available for both profit-driven and non-profit initiatives within the Polkadot ecosystem, with a vision for ongoing financing through Polkadot’s on-chain treasury system beyond 2024. The Web3 Foundation oversees this program, providing essential resources, advocacy, research, and collaboration.
To be eligible for funding, participants must meet specific criteria, such as producing and importing blocks, adhering to performance standards on Polkadot, and passing security audits.
Logion’s primary objective is to enhance the security of digital assets while providing a legal framework for digital transactions. The platform facilitates user management of cryptographic keys and digital assets in a user-friendly manner, with legal oversight to bolster security.
A key feature of Logion is its simple recovery system for lost keys, addressing concerns over private key management. Legal officers are involved in this recovery process to prevent unauthorized access and manage inheritance issues.
Through Logion, certified professionals—including lawyers and accountants—can file legally binding documents, reports, and expert opinions. The storage of these documents is managed via a decentralized and encrypted IPFS network, exclusively overseen by legal officers.
This initiative aligns with Polkadot’s broader vision of promoting blockchain adoption by making platforms more accessible to a wider audience, not just those with technical expertise.
