- The blockchain-based system is based on SORA v3 Hub Chain’s Hyperledger Iroha 2 network.
- The funds will be allocated to critical infrastructure projects such as housing, roads, and public facilities.
- Citizens will be able to invest via a mobile app.
President Surangel Whipps, Jr. stated that the initiative will increase job opportunities and boost the economy. The public launch phase has begun, but no exact timeline has been announced.
