The Colombian government through the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies (MinTIC) launched a Guide with the guidelines for the development of blockchain-based projects within the public sector.

The guide offers the necessary regulations so that government institutions can host blockchain technology in the different Colombian ministries and agencies. In addition, it provides tools so that projects can be created and developed in an “organized, staggered and structured manner, taking into account the recommendations of government agencies.”

Carmen Valderrama, Minister of Information Technologies of Colombia, said that blockchains have become “a necessity not only for the private sector but also for the public sector to the extent that it responds to many of the objectives set.” Individuals and organizations can consult the guide on facebook.com.

Blockchain players in the public sector

Some institutions have become the protagonists of the public sector blockchain in Colombia and already have their activities based on this technology. One of the first institutions to venture into this type of technology will be the National Land Agency (ANT) with the purpose of offering “greater security in the land titling process.”

Another organization that is also venturing into the blockchain is the Rural and Agricultural Planning Unit (UPRA), which will be based on the guide designed by the executive to monitor panela prices in the country.

Minister Valderrama also recalled that in 2021 the executive launched a first version of the guide, which contained the basic principles of blockchain implementation in public administration. Which “left enormous lessons and allowed us to take great steps.”

El Salvador will create the Bitcoin City. This was announced by the President of the Republic of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, within the framework of the closing of the “Bitcoin Week” event, which aimed to promote blockchain technology.

The new city Bitcoin City will have as a source of financing a single tax that will be VAT in the order of 10 %, with which it will pay for services and infrastructure investments. “Half will be used to pay the municipal bonds and the rest for public infrastructure and city maintenance,” Bukele indicated.

The new bitcoin city, the first in the world, will operate in the La Unión department, which is the most populated in the Conchagua municipality. Citizens will be able to work in the #BitcoinCity and live in the Union, as well as enjoy and take advantage of the investment and development benefits that the new city will provide.

¡El Salvador será el primer país del mundo en tener una #BitcoinCity!
Estará entre la ciudad de La Unión y Conchagua. Las personas podrán vivir en La Unión pero trabajar en la #BitcoinCity. Pronto empezarán a ver todos los beneficios, cuando el desarrollo y la inversión llegue. pic.twitter.com/21bx7Yc5aJ

Ecological Bitcoin city

Another characteristic of the Bitcoin City is that it will work with renewable energy, stimulated by the Conchagua volcano and the government plans to finance it with bitcoin bonds in the beginning.

President Bukele, together with Samson Mow, Blockstream’s director of strategy, announced that, for next year, El Salvador will be issuing “bitcoin sovereign bonds” for a value of one billion dollars, with which they plan to start the construction of this new city.

The objective is “to facilitate investment in business and technology.” The new city will have green areas, spaces to share and work and everything will be digital, said Bukele.
