Abstract

In this paper we carry out a survey of vision & white papers and reports from industry as well as private industry actors, along with academic literature, to understand how blockchain is being used for digital government and public services. The purpose of this survey is to explore which fundamental properties of blockchain technology are being harnessed, and how; putting it in perspective by reviewing technological alternatives when pertinent, and by also discussing the cautions one needs to take to use blockchains in a prudent and correct manner. The case studies discussed in this paper are thus not exhaustive, nor is any individual case discussed in great depth. Instead, we focus on capturing a wide spectrum of representative use cases to expose the efficacy as well as limitations of integrating blockchains in the government technology stack.
