Table 7 .2: Multi-institutional approach for National Blockchain Framework and collaborating

organizations

In conclusion, the National Strategy to evolve a trusted digital platform for

providing e-Governance services using blockchain lays out overall vision and

the development and implementation strategies for a National Blockchain

Platform covering the technology stack, legal and regulatory framework,

standards development, collaboration, human resource development, and

potential use cases. It is hoped that this strategy document would provide the

necessary guidance and support for realizing the vision and creating a

nationwide ecosystem for creating the National Blockchain Platform and

development of relevant applications using this platform in various domains.

MeitY will work with various government organizations and other

stakeholders in implementing this strategy and realizing the various advantages

of blockchain technology in terms of enhanced security, trust, and ability to

ensure tamper-evident transactions. A dedicated team would be identified to

hand-hold the implementers at various central/ state government applications.

Existing services offered by MeitY and other government organizations would

also be on-boarded onto the trusted digital platform.

Conclusion

This chapter provided a vision of the future blockchain trends in the times to

come. As a third-party creation and management of cloud-based networks for

companies in the business of building blockchain applications, Blockchain-as-

a-Service was discussed. The features of BaaS and how Baas works are

detailed. Further discussed is the platform that offers operational resilience,

pluggable consensus, broader off-chain data storage capabilities, and adaptors

to allow for SQL-based ledger queries.

The details of the VMW are blockchain are provided next. We have included

the protocol names that follow consensus models outlined in the chapters, such

as Algorand follows Proof of Stake and newer roles such as Solana,

Avalanche, Cardano, Celo, and Flow. You get to know the maj or players in the

blockchain domain and explain the use cases of blockchain.

Enterprise Integrations, Robust Oracles, GraphQL Integration, Identity

Federation, Built-in Privacy, and Permissioning are among the interfaces

available. Infrastructure and network capabilities include the ability to

maintain peak performance at the network level, the ability to scale and reduce

network size on demand, DevOps tools to make integration with existing IT
