- Coordinate technical validation requirements for NIKI, FarmNodes, ENTITY rights controls and BTG’s modular engineering stack across jurisdictions.
- Review how future Bit Trade Global instrument classes and consumer-facing Bridge connections may encounter different US legal or compliance regimes.
- Report partner feedback, qualification gaps, relevant testing standards and escalation items to the Board.
