Block Chain Benefits to States

What is happening? In 2018, West Virginia ran a pilot program testing blockchain to secure voting. Alaska in 2021 proposed legislation, SB 39 (2021 | AK) to build its voting system around blockchain which is considered more tamper proof.

Why is this important? The security of blockchain could also be useful for state issued IDs and for DAOs, Decentralized autonomous organizations

How will this be important? State government isn’t known for expedited adoption of new technology.
