Colombia’s Ministry of Information Technology and Communications, Mintic, has released a guide describing the steps to implement blockchain in state – level projects. The document defines the blockchain and its basic elements, and also describes the guidelines that individual projects should follow, depending on the needs of each project.
More and more authorities are including blockchains in projects that require transparency and decentralization. The Ministry of Information Technology and Communications in Colombia, the most important technology institution in the country, has published a guide describing how blockchain should be integrated into projects aimed at solving problems at government and state level.
The document, entitled “Reference Guide for the Adoption and Implementation of Blockchain Technology Projects for the Colombian State,” explains the basics of blockchain and the types of projects that will benefit from integrating blockchain into their services. The document states about this:
A blockchain technology project in the public sector requires a detailed review of the requirements for the public challenge to be solved and the user-friendliness that the distributed database will have depending on the type of project.
Furthermore, the document states that the implementation of this technology should be subject to the current legal framework in the country, where state entities are obliged to comply with what is explicitly stipulated in Colombian law.
Colombia has already identified some of the issues that can be addressed using blockchain technology. The document mentions several projects, including RITA, a network developed by a national university that uses blockchain to secure and verify the authenticity of academic diplomas, and the alliance that the Bank of Colombia inked with R3 to use Corda for various settlement cases.
Recently, a new application of blockchain technology was announced by Mintic, which aims to help residents who need their own country certificates. The project, recently completed by a third-party company called Peersyst Technology, will use Ripple Ledger as a base to record and verify the authenticity of these certificates. The project aims to speed up the process of issuing these land documents, with the goal of giving 100,000 of the certificates to landowners in a short time.
Brazil also operates its own blockchain-based network. The structure, called the Brazilian Blockchain Network, will be used by institutions to build their own apps on top, with the idea of improving the transparency of public organizations.
