Adoption roadmap
A staged public-interest adoption plan
BTG's adoption strategy must be driven by real evidence and legitimate participant outcomes, not by the existence of an attractive trading interface.
Stage 1 — Evidence baseline
Inventory implemented modules, review engineering qualification, document ownership and privacy risks, and publish truthful status summaries. Gate: independent reviewers can reproduce named demonstrations and identify unresolved limitations.
Stage 2 — Education and dialogue
Make public whitepapers, plain-language manuals, a transparent product-status register and stakeholder briefings accessible. Meet consumers, researchers, Indigenous communities, privacy specialists, businesses and public institutions. Gate: documented stakeholder concerns and revised safeguards.
Stage 3 — Controlled Bridge pilots
Conduct voluntary, limited pilots using sources with demonstrable legal permission, purpose-specific consent and privacy impact review. Gate: independently evaluated consent lifecycle, deletion/revocation behavior, security and usable research outputs.
Stage 4 — Commercial research customers
Offer qualified, authorized research products to a small set of customers. Test value, repeat purchase, contractual rights and cash reconciliation. Gate: verifiable payments and service delivery, with contributor entitlements honored.
Stage 5 — Authorized capital formation
Establish issuer structures and engage securities counsel, dealers and regulators as required. Separate restricted primary instruments from any future securities marketplace. Gate: lawful issuance and reconciliation evidence, without unauthorized secondary trading.
Stage 6 — Jurisdictional expansion
Evaluate additional provinces and countries one by one: legal rights, privacy, marketplace obligations, tax, currency, data residency, sovereign/community protocols and operational capacity. Gate: jurisdiction-specific authorization and independently monitored outcomes.
Adoption metrics should include consenting participants, active accounts, usable qualified assets, buyers, realized customer revenue, contributor distributions, complaint rates, confirmed privacy incidents, cost to serve, retention and independently reproduced findings. Not all metrics should be public at individual level.
Global and regional adoption
The initial British Columbia work is one example. The public adoption framework is designed to be adapted to rural and urban regions across countries, with each jurisdiction independently clearing its legal, technical, economic and community-governance requirements.
- Global Adoption Framework — A scalable regional and country-by-country participation model
- Applications Across Regions and Countries — Illustrative use cases for regions of very different sizes and economies
- Country and Region Readiness Worksheet — Reusable checklist for any country or subnational jurisdiction
- International Partnership Programme — A neutral, evidence-led approach to engagement
Important: This section does not claim active international pilots, government sponsorship or financial-market authorization.
Whitepaper-based international adoption
From Grand Forks to global adoption adapts the original 35-page October 2026 BTG Knowledge Capital Economy submission for country-by-country and region-by-region public discussion. The original regional use case is a starting point, not a geographic restriction.
