The US government has announced its intention to utilize blockchain technology for distributing key economic data, marking a significant shift in the country’s approach to information transparency and verification. This move comes as part of an initiative spearheaded by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who sees blockchain as the future of government data management. The Commerce Department will leverage blockchain networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana to securely distribute GDP figures, inflation indicators, and real final sales data. Chainlink, a decentralized oracle platform, plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate and efficient delivery of this data across multiple blockchains. This move signals a broader acceptance of blockchain as a viable solution for governmental data storage and sharing.
