Bhutan NDI

"The rollout of a national digital identity system in Bhutan defies its landlocked, rugged terrains and social and digital development challenges, including inclusion, future proof, KYC processes, partial digitalization, trust and security, and the need for an integrated digital service. Individuals own their data and only share necessary data with service providers."

Last week at DevCon 7 provided us with an excellent opportunity to learn from leading experts in the blockchain and Ethereum ecosystem. The event covered a diverse range of topics, workshops, and hands-on sessions that addressed the present and future challenges in the world of decentralization. Bhutan’s participation at the event showcased its emerging role as a leader in decentralized identity (DID) solutions. Further, members from Ethereum highlighted Bhutan as a unique and special case within the blockchain ecosystem. They expressed willingness to provide the blockchain ecosystem in Bhutan with a curated set of resources, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. These resources could be shared on our forum or website, serving as validated references for end users seeking knowledge about blockchain and decentralized technologies. Devcon 7 is one of the largest global events dedicated to the Ethereum ecosystem, bringing together developers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and blockchain enthusiasts. Organized by the Ethereum Foundation, the conference promotes collaboration, knowledge sharing, and innovation in decentralized technologies. It is a platform to explore advancements in Ethereum, decentralized finance (DeFi), digital identity, and other cutting-edge blockchain applications. #Ethereum #Blockchain #Web3 #SSI #DecentralizedIdentity #DIDs #SelfSovereignIdentity #DigitalIdentity

Damcho Lhendup is representing Bhutan NDI at DEVCON 7 in Bangkok, Thailand this year. Organized by the Ethereum Foundation, the sessions on Day 1 were captivating and thought-provoking, with a variety of events unfolding across more than seven different venues. Delegates had the opportunity to attend parallel talks and seminars, while also enjoying dedicated spaces for yoga, food, and private meetings. One of the standout sessions was titled "Human Stories of the Real World - Next Billion Fellows (EF)." In this talk, the Next Billion Fellows shared their projects, offering a unique perspective on how Ethereum intersects with everyday life. By focusing on the real-world impact of Ethereum in different communities, the session highlighted the potential of blockchain to drive human coordination at a scale never seen before. It was a deep dive into the tangible challenges people face as they explore the transformative power of decentralized technology in their own neighborhoods and regions. If you are around, connect with Damcho to learn how Bhutan NDI aims to leverage Ethereum in the future! #DevCon7 #Ethereum #Blockchain #DecentralizedIdentity #SSI #SelfSovereignIdentity

We had a great experience at Identity Week Asia 2024 last week in Singapore. Our booth garnered a huge audience and the engagement from the community was truly inspiring. It was a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate our solutions, connect with industry leaders, and exchange ideas. #IdentityWeekAsia

We had a great lineup of keynote and panel discussions by our team at Identity Week Asia 2024. Not only did we have the opportunity to share our story, we were able to glean valuable insights into the emerging industry trends in the Asia-Pacific region. The opportunities for cross-border and cross-sector collaboration are huge in the region and we hope to expand our use cases and applications through the network we’ve built.
