Emerging technology products would benefit hugely
from the introduction of voluntary standards. Those, however, are
costly to adopt, especially for smaller players. Further,
popularizing the standards and policing compliance is difficult.
This paper makes the case for empowering the users to police the
voluntary standards. Utilizing Distributed Ledger Technology
(DLT), more precisely Directed Acyclic Graph will reduce the
costs of recording and storing individual measurements for each
product allowing users to claim compensation every time the
product doesn’t perform according to specifications. The paper
discusses the specific requirements the product should meet to
utilize DLT as compliance tool. It is also discussing the specific
legal issues that entail from empowering users to police standard
compliance.
