Up until now, distributed ledger technologies have mostly been the domain of specialists and lawyers. But that could change in part due to Dapper Labs, a developer that has received $15 million in financing to forward its ongoing mission of using blockchain-based games and apps to raise the tech’s profile among the average consumer.

Launching a game that does the same thing that email did for the internet is a heck of a goalpost, and even if the kick is good, it’s a long way off. Still, attorneys could be among the first groups to feel the impact of the new technology. The widespread adoption of blockchain could change how they practice finance and put a new spin on old questions about privacy and cybersecurity.
