Blockchain Readiness Index

Blockchain Readiness Index - an advanced metric representing Blockchain engagement per country

We are a scientific team at the University of Nicosia, currently working on establishing the “Blockchain Readiness Index” – an advanced metric representing blockchain engagement per country.
We have created this survey with the aim to get a feel regarding to which industry aspects the “Blockchain Readiness Index” shall include. Your opinion will help us structure the most relevant index indicators, make improvements to the existing tool and prioritize new features.

The index indicators are categorized under 4 pillars; Legislation, Technology Adoption, Industry Engagement and User Engagement. The survey should only take 4 minutes, and your responses are completely anonymous.
