Full explainer
Did you know storing personal data on blockchain can violate GDPR forever? RevDSG closes that gap. It's an extension that reinforces GDPR rules specifically for decentralized systems where data lives permanently and publicly. Here's the critical part: once information hits the blockchain, you can't delete it—but GDPR gives people the right to be forgotten. RevDSG forces organizations to architect privacy from day one, using anonymization and encryption before any data touches the ledger. That means auditing what you're storing, implementing data minimization, and designing systems that respect both innovation and human rights. Companies ignoring this face massive fines and loss of trust. The takeaway: blockchain transparency and privacy aren't enemies—they're partners when you build compliance into your foundation.
