The video explaining the proposal for a UK construction industry blockchain will provide viewers with valuable insights into several key areas:
• Understanding of the BMM and its application to the construction industry;
• Overview of the Dynamic Coalition on Blockchain Assurance & Standardization (DC-BAS) and its role in promoting blockchain standards;
• Explanation of how blockchain technology can create a secure and immutable Golden Thread of Information and Safety Case System for the construction industry;
• Demonstration of how digital identity, smart contracts, and NFTs can be used to enhance safety and efficiency in construction projects;
• Insights into how blockchain can contribute to achieving net-zero goals in the construction sector.

The video is directly related to the DC-BAS as it showcases the practical application of blockchain standards and best practices promoted by the coalition demonstrates how the BMM, developed with support from the GBA, can be applied to real-world scenarios in the construction industry.

AI and Blockchain Synergy

Lets explores how the integration of AI and blockchain technologies can enhance education and healthcare. It highlights the benefits of AI in personalizing learning and healthcare, and the role of blockchain in ensuring data security and interoperability.

Necessity of implementing guardrails around AI

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.
