🇧🇹 Bhutan transfers the entire national identification system to Ethereum!
The Himalayan kingdom is restructuring its National Digital Identity (NDI) program, allowing 800,000 citizens to hold digital identity wallets – encrypted and verified on the Ethereum blockchain by 2026.
After testing Hyperledger and Polygon, Bhutan chose Ethereum for its decentralization and high security. The new system follows the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) model – enabling citizens to manage their identity independently without relying on a central database.
Bhutan aims for a more transparent digital future, cost-saving, and paving the way for the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). A small step with blockchain, but a giant leap for e-government! ⚡️
