D-CENT will provide digital tools for direct democracy and economic empowerment through developing an open, decentralized digital ecosystem. It will implement distributed identity management giving citizens control over personal data and enable real-time collective decision making. The project will develop this through pilots in Iceland, Finland, and Spain testing distributed social networking, deliberation tools, and linking civic participation to sustainable economic models.
