The future of government runs on blockchain
From national ID and public finance to AI and energy—Polkadot powers the secure, scalable blockchain infrastructure trusted by forward-thinking governments.
Why governments are rethinking digital infrastructure
Legacy Web2 infrastructure was never designed to handle national-scale demands. It's siloed, expensive to maintain, and difficult to adapt. Blockchain offers a path that overcomes these challenges and supports secure, transparent, and future-ready public services.
Built-in trust
Eliminate tampering and opacity with immutable ledgers and transparent execution.
Interoperability without friction
Connect ministries, departments, and partner systems with native cross-chain messaging.
Sovereign digital control
Retain full ownership over infrastructure, governance, and data—eliminating vendor lock-in and aligning fully with national policy.
Local digital leadership
Enable local companies to build, maintain and even export on-chain services, tailored to your country's needs.
Future-proof with innovation
Move beyond legacy IT by adopting decentralized infrastructure purpose-built to evolve government systems for the decades ahead.
Design the future: what governments can build with blockchain
Forward-thinking governments are using blockchain to power real-world systems that citizens rely on every day.
Digital Identity
Issue and verify national ID, e-KYC, and credentials for healthcare, education, and public access.
Defense & Supply Chain
Track military logistics, sensitive procurement, and product authenticity via sovereign ledgers.
Public Finance
Launch Central Bank Decentralized Currency (CBDCs), tokenized subsidies, and cooperative banking for underserved populations.
Sustainability & Energy
Track carbon emissions, certify green energy production, and issue verifiable climate credits using transparent, auditable ledgers.
Citizen Engagement
Implement secure e-voting, participatory budgeting, and transparent public forums.
Healthcare and Health Insurance
Secure patient records, streamline claims processing, and coordinate health services across agencies using tamper-proof, interoperable infrastructure.
Real-world impact: Mandala Chain
Mandala Chain is partnering with regional governments across Indonesia to digitize identity, logistics, and public finance using sovereign-grade silo chains built on Polkadot. These deployments highlight how Polkadot's modularity, composability, and on-chain governance gives Mandala Chain the flexibility to rapidly launch an ecosystem at national scale.

Why governments choose Polkadot
Polkadot uniquely meets the needs of governments looking to build secure, scalable, and governance-aligned infrastructure. Start with a permissioned solo chain, with the option to upgrade to a permissionless chain for increased security or transparency.
Modular Architecture with Full Control
Launch chains with your own rules, governance, and jurisdictional logic.
Native Interoperability
Connect provinces, departments, and international partners via XCM with no bridges required.
Shared Security
Inherit shared security from a decentralized validator set securing billions in economic value.
Unmatched Resilience
Achieve unmatched resilience with the highest Nakamoto coefficient of any blockchain and zero network downtime since launch.
High Performance at Scale
Handle high-volume national workloads with Polkadot’s parallel architecture—capable of a 623K+ TPS and 6-second block times, with room to scale as demands grow.
Sustainable Architecture
Minimize environmental impact with the lowest carbon footprint among major proof-of-stake chains—ideal for sustainable infrastructure.
