Advocacy Program

We believe it is the responsibility of the entire crypto community to develop a blockchain regulatory environment that supports growth of this pivotal technology—with integrity—in close collaboration with regulators and policymakers.

Interchain Foundation is committed to supporting advocacy initiatives that promote the development of responsible regulatory environments. We believe that this provides entrepreneurs with legal clarity, ultimately enabling blockchain research and development to thrive.

We are proud members and supporters of various global advocacy groups including: the Blockchain Association, Coin Center, the European Crypto Initiative (EUCI), the Proof of Stake Alliance, and the Canadian Web3 Council. We partner with leading organizations that work closely with governments on blockchain policy, while protecting the sovereignty of crypto stakeholders.
