This article misses an important distinction by the Bavarian DPA in their decision. 

They made a key point twice which should send chills down the spine of any company posting raw data about users onchain:

“Comprehensive erasure following withdrawal of consent” 

And 

“the unrestricted opportunity to
enforce their right to erasure”

This isn’t accidental, and tho IANAL, I read it as there being no way to be GDPR compliant when posting user data onchain, no matter what consent you receive. 

Maybe they will clarify this guidance later but I would recommend any companies doing onchain attestations or the like to investigate partial blind models so that the onchain component doesn’t inherently contain user data
