Ukraine and BitFury launching first ‘full-scale’ blockchain eGovernment pilot

Hi there,

The State Agency for eGovernment in Ukraine and Bitcoin mining manufacturer BitFury recently announced a memorandum of interaction and cooperation to create “the first full-scale Blockchain eGovernance program for Ukraine."
According to the announcement, the program will begin with a pilot project introducing Blockchain technology into Ukraine’s eGovernment platform. The pilot will primarily focus on using blockchain technology in state land registries, public services, social security, public health and the energy sector. When the pilot is complete, the program will expand into all other areas, including cybersecurity.

The pilot is expected to launch later this year, and although the size and cost of the project have yet to be determined, BitFury CEO Valery Vavilov told Reuters that it is “by far the biggest government blockchain deal ever.”
The memorandum was signed in Kyiv by Vavilov and Oleksandr Ryzhenko, the head of the eGovernance of Ukraine. The State Agency for eGovernance is the central executive body within Ukrainian Government that determines state policy in the field
