With the advent of cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology began to gain traction and popularity in many developed countries such as Australia, Estonia, and Singapore, especially in their areas of finance. Now they are already trying to use this technology for efficient and secure storage and processing of personal data.

Given the rapid growth of blockchain technology and its successful application by most of the countries developed in the field of digitalization, for Kazakhstan this direction is one of the priorities for achieving a successful digital transformation.

Despite the fact that blockchain technology has begun to popularize relatively recently in Kazakhstan, a number of interesting projects in this direction have already been implemented or are at the planning stage.
