Banking and Financial Services: Putting Government Budgets on Blockchain

In this episode of Digital Transformers, hosts Kevin L. Jackson and Gerard Dache explore the role of blockchain in government operations in this recent Emerging GovTech livestream, produced in partnership with the Government Blockchain Association and the National DigiFoundry. They welcome Amelia Powers Gardner, a pioneer in digital government services, and Paul F. Dowding, a blockchain expert in financial services.

Amelia shares her journey from the private sector to public office, revolutionizing processes like marriage licensing and voting through blockchain. She discusses how blockchain enhances transparency in government budgeting, allowing for better tracking of federal, state, and private funds. Paul highlights how blockchain can improve financial operations, reduce fraud, and integrate with existing systems for greater efficiency.

The discussion covers real-world deployment challenges, the importance of interoperability, and strategies for gaining adoption in slow-moving government environments. With blockchain’s potential to transform financial accountability, this episode offers insights into the future of digital governance.
