China takes blockchain national: The state-sponsored platform will launch in 100 cities
Nick Stockton · IEEE Spectrum · 2020
This month, an alliance of Chinese government groups, banks, and technology companies will publicly launch the Blockchain-based Service Network (BSN). It will be among the first blockchain networks to be built and maintained by a central government. Think of it like an operating system, where participants can use existing blockchain programs, or build their own bespoke tools, without having to design a framework from the ground up.
