Participants

Summary

There are two groups of OBADA participants; "Industry Stakeholders" who have an operational (day-to-day) role in the processing of used hardware, and "Ecosystem Stewards" who represent the broader interest of how the ecosystem affect the world's environment and economy.

Definitions

  • "The Network" - The OBADA "blockchain"

  • "The Ecosystem" - The community of interacting organizations with a vested interest in the managing the processing and disposal of used electronics.

  • "The Industry" Organizations in the ecosystem directly involved with the equipment.

  • "Ecosystem Stewards" Organizations without a direct role in the industry that have a vested interest (either financial, environmental, or regulatory) in the health of the network.

  • "Role" The function of a group or entity, from the perspective of the network.

Industry Stakeholders

Industry Stakeholders have a functional role in the network.

Registrars

Registrars perform the permissioning and identity management function in the blockchain. They hold the "member lists", validate user identities, manage user permissions, and create a layer of anonymity between users and their blockchain transactions.
