tldr; Bhutan is transitioning its National Digital Identity (NDI) platform to the Ethereum blockchain, becoming the first country to base its national identity system on a public blockchain. This move aims to enhance transparency, security, and citizen control over personal data while reducing reliance on centralized databases. The system will enable secure verification of credentials without exposing private data. Bhutan is also exploring blockchain applications in voting, document signing, and international partnerships, with full migration expected by early 2026.

Regarding this topic, Bhutan would need to create a small reserve of Ethereum to pay the gas fees for each operation, correct?
Is anything known about this matter?
Buttcoiners must be shocked to learn that some crypto has utility. 😂

This is so bullish, it will be a global precedent for self-sovereign identity on a public blockchain, the best blockchain in the world!! This will increase Ethereum’s credibility as a trust layer.
