When summing up the experience gained by the government with the Blockchain, it comes to the following questions and statements:
Basically, what it is, and there is a value for this technology? These are the questions we ask ourselves at a time and in a world in which the Blockchain is new and not standardized, but clearly a value outside of the crypto currency. It cannot be denied that Blockchain and some of the components of this technology or this technology set, offer more value. We will consider it to determine what is of value and how we can share it. Specifically, we were asked to check whether we can use it for social assistance benefits.
