Data sovereignty refers to the principle that data is subject to the laws and governance structures of the nation where it is collected or stored. This concept asserts control over digital information by its originating jurisdiction, affecting how data is handled, processed, and accessed across borders. It influences regulatory frameworks concerning data privacy, security, and cross-border data transfers. In decentralized systems, data sovereignty considerations become complex due to the distributed nature of data storage and processing.
Context

Governments increasingly seek to assert jurisdiction over data related to digital assets and blockchain transactions, leading to potential conflicts with the global, permissionless nature of many protocols. This presents a significant challenge for decentralized networks aiming for worldwide adoption while adhering to diverse national legal requirements.
