The European Commission's Blockchain Regulatory Sandbox, running from 2023 to 2026, supports 20 innovative distributed ledger technology (DLT) projects annually, giving selected participants direct regulatory dialogue to increase legal certainty for their proposed use case before wider deployment.

The Commission explicitly recognises that DLTs have potential beyond financial services, including regulatory technologies that help authorities fight counterfeits in global supply chains and protect verifiable credentials such as certifications against fraud. For a manufacturer exploring blockchain-based parts provenance, component authentication or supply-chain traceability - an increasingly common request from OEM customers wanting to verify where critical components genuinely originated - this Sandbox is a way to test the approach with direct access to regulatory expertise rather than navigating legal uncertainty alone.
