Why Blockchain Technology is Crucial for Development

Why Blockchain Technology is Crucial for Development

Blockchain technology isn’t limited to cryptocurrencies; its transformative applications extend across various sectors, including education, supply chain, healthcare, agriculture, and government elections – alongside its well-established role in finance.

Acknowledging that Blockchain goes beyond cryptocurrencies, let’s explore successful use cases and their significance in Latin American countries’ development. Nations like Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico are customizing blockchains to meet their specific needs.

Latin American countries that have adopted blockchain technology.

In Argentina, agricultural producers are utilizing decentralized financial applications (DeFi) to secure funding, leveraging their agricultural assets as collateral. This move liberates them from traditional banking constraints and shields them against high-interest rates.

Brazil has initiated unofficial pilot tests for elections, leveraging companies like GoLedger and IBM to record votes on a blockchain network. This approach explores transparent voting methods for trustworthy results.

In Mexico, the medical services company MDS is leveraging blockchain to securely store COVID test results, ensuring real traceability. Users can conveniently access their vaccination history without compromising data integrity.

 Kii Global’s blockchain, an opportunity for Colombia and Latam

Colombia, in 2022, witnessed the Financial Superintendence (SFC) completing a successful pilot test for issuing bonds using only blockchain technology. The SFC’s final report underscores the efficiency and security achieved through smart contracts, non-fungible tokens, and encryption algorithms, providing immutable information for real-time participant auditing.

Recognizing the pivotal role of blockchain, at Kii Global, we’ve developed the first Layer 1 blockchain powered by Tendermint BFT. Here, you can develop smart contracts, DeFi applications, and more.
