Blockchain Innovation Grant Program – DC BAS
In 2025, the Blockchain Assurance and Standardization DAO will be accepting applications for monetary grants to your company. We will also be accepting donations to support using blockchain solution to achieve UN Sustainability goals.
The Dynamic Coalition on Blockchain Assurance and Standardization it was launched in July 2023. Hosted by the Government Blockchain Association (GBA), ;the coalition aims to develop and share criteria, methodologies, tools, and real-world use cases to build trust in blockchain technology.
In 2024, the DC-BAS made huge waves across the blockchain world when it started its Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) to demonstrate how public sector organizations can leverage blockchain technology and DAO principles to foster transparent, rules-based, and high-integrity governance structures.
In 2025, The Dynamic Coalition will follow-up that initial game changing program by establishing the Digital Asset Innovation Grant Program. This new effort will provide financial support to projects and activities that innovate and accelerate the use of digital asset technologies that help attain UN sustainable development goals.
