The Ethical Chain is not a guidebook. It is the first moral infrastructure blueprint for blockchain ecosystems. Across twelve deeply researched chapters, Maximillion Smart delivers a foundational work that bridges law, technology, governance, and human rights-codifying what fairness, justice, and responsibility must look like when intermediaries disappear. From investor protection and governance abuse to privacy, compliance, and the ethics of incentives, this book doesn't simply diagnose the risks-it proposes frameworks that can shape policy, redesign protocols, and legitimize the future of Web3.
