Press Release: Global Organizations Gain Blockchain Support Through LACNet and Government Blockchain Association Partnership
Montevideo, Uruguay, November 11th, 2024 — Organizations worldwide seeking to implement blockchain solutions now have additional support thanks to the collaborative efforts of LACNet and the Government Blockchain Association (GBA).
LACNet, the world’s largest public permissioned blockchain infrastructure, has joined forces with the GBA to assist organizations globally in adopting blockchain solutions. This collaboration leverages the Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM), which helps solution providers demonstrate their credibility to potential clients while offering a roadmap for continuous improvement.
The BMM empowers those lacking the knowledge or framework to differentiate between reliable blockchain solutions and overhyped prototypes. It provides guidance and criteria for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving blockchain solutions. Additionally, the model ensures that solutions meet industry standards, equipping procurement professionals with the necessary information to evaluate blockchain solutions and establish criteria for GBA certification.
LACNet, which enables blockchain networks suitable for deploying projects in various sectors such as finance, agriculture, education, supply chain logistics, government innovation, and more, is committed to promoting the widespread adoption of the BMM. LACNet, invites their community and everyone involved in Web3, to consider BMM rating ensuring the reliability of their solution.
Gerard Dache, Executive Director of the GBA, commented on the importance of this joint effort:
“The entire blockchain industry will benefit from the relationship we have with LACNet to support blockchain adoption or trustworthy solutions around the world.”
Moisés Galé, Partnership Manager of LACNet emphasized that:
“The partnership with the GBA specifically, and LACNet’s ability to offer the BMM certification service, allows the numerous blockchain solutions in Latin America and the Caribbean to achieve greater professionalism and support, enabling governments, corporations, academia, and startups to benefit. This has been LACNet’s vision from the very beginning. Additionally, it is another way to promote the development of blockchain technology in our region”.
