So, based on what I was able to find, I do think that they can be incredible helpful for fostering government transparency, but I do not think that it is crucial that these technologies are used because transparency can still be achieved through other methods (like clear reporting requirement or public-facing audits). Governments should simply pick the method that works best for them and ensures their government’s transparency.Read Less

Blockchain certainly provides stronger security and traceability, yet I am unsure whether government-led development is the most efficient pathway. Market-driven development tends to move faster, especially in technology sectors where innovation is competitive and decentralized. If the goal is to enhance transparency, it may be more effective for governments to create regulatory frameworks and adopt the most reliable market-developed systems rather than directly leading the technological development themselves.Read Less
