Polygon Labs, the core company behind the development of Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution Polygon, has called on policymakers in the European Union to “clarify the scope and intent” of legislation targeting smart contracts.
In an open letter published to members of the European Parliament, the European Council and the European Commission on April 17, Polygon Labs proposed Article 30 under the Data Act be amended to apply to permissioned smart-contract-based-systems owned and operated by an “enterprise,” as opposed to permissionless under the current wording. The platform said hardware wallet developer Ledger had also signed up to request the legislation better reflect its intent.
