Alex Puig, director of Red Lyra, explains: "The project is inclusive and democratic because the members of the network are the ones who decide its future and ensure that no single member has full control. It is a consortium, a collaborative network, helpful for everyone.

Lyra is set up as a semi-public and authorised network for blockchain technology in Spain and is a global pioneer, as no project has existed previously where so many companies collaborate to design such an ambitious digital work space.

All of the partners and users act in 'coopetition', i.e. they cooperate with each other but they also compete, using the network with the assurance that they will never be able to control it without the approval of all participants".
