Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan unveiled new details about the blockchain-powered e-Human project ahead of Turkey’s national blockchain summit.
Cointelegraph Turkey reported that the e-Human project will be based on blockchain technology to keep all services, data and capabilities used by the system under protection.
Although it has a science fiction name, Turkey’s e-Human project acts as a digital service point where the local government can share data related to its services and tools related to professional careers, distance education and acquisition of talent.
Students, recent graduates and civil servants can access employment and internship opportunities in the public and private sectors, certified training for civil servants, career fairs held in Turkey, events and educational content from the e-Human portal. The project aims to increase employability and support the growth of citizens.
Previously, the national automobile company of Turkey TOGG announced a strategic partnership with Avalanche blockchain developer Ava Labs to develop secure and fast mobility services with smart contracts.
Turkey was known as a pro-cryptocurrency country until President Erdoğan launched an all-out war against the use of cryptocurrencies. The country banned cryptocurrency payments on local goods and services in April 2021.
Although the government took a stance against cryptocurrencies, it continued to explore the ecosystem while building several blockchain projects of its own. The country even announced its National Blockchain Infrastructure plans. However, the pandemic could have caused a stalemate, as no updates were made after the initial announcement.
The adoption of cryptocurrencies by the Turkish population contrasts with the government’s perspective. The country hosts several world events, such as the Istanbul Blockchain Week and the Blockchain Economy Istanbul. The local developer ecosystem is also working hard to bring the next DevCon, an important event for the Ethereum developer community, to Istanbul.
Recent data from Chainalysis showed that Turkey is among the fastest growing cryptocurrency markets. Chainalysis’s Global Cryptocurrency Adoption Index 2022 revealed that Turkey is among the top 20 countries in terms of crypto asset adoption.
