​🏦 A digital turn in state finances

◽​The Ministry of Economy and Finance of South Korea has announced the launch of a revolutionary pilot project. It involves the use of blockchain-based deposit tokens to manage expenses related to the government's official duties.

​💳 From plastic to smart tokens

◽​Currently, government departments use credit or debit cards issued by the state. However, this traditional system presents challenges:

🔸 Bureaucracy during overtime: The use of cards during nighttime or non-working days requires additional justification reports.

🔸 Manual processes: The review of "irregular" expenses creates a heavy administrative burden.

​🛠️ How will this new technology work?

​The use of deposit tokens allows for advanced programming that regular cards do not offer:

🔸🔸​Preconfigured restrictions: Allowed usage times and specific spending categories can be automatically set. 🕒

🔸🔸​Total transparency: Each transaction is recorded on the blockchain network, increasing the traceability of public funds. 🔍

🔸🔸​Lower fees: Being a system without traditional financial intermediaries reduces the fee burden for small businesses where officials make their purchases. 📉

​📍 Next steps and execution

​The South Korean government is already in the process of selecting technology operators for the project.

🔸​Expected launch: Fourth quarter of this year.

🔸​Testing center: The city of Sejong-si, known as the administrative capital of the country.
