The Government Blockchain Association (GBA) is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between blockchain technology and public sector governance. Headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, GBA connects professionals from government and private sectors to explore and implement blockchain solutions for public services.
GBA's mission is to educate lawmakers about the rapid evolution of technologies like AI, blockchain, and quantum computing, while examining their economic and policy impacts across both the public and private sectors. The organization fosters meaningful connections, inspires collaboration, and accelerates the adoption of transformative technologies that will define the decades to come.
One of GBA's key initiatives is the Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM), a global standard for assessing the trustworthiness of blockchain solutions. The BMM provides a roadmap for continuous improvement and a credible benchmark for security, performance, governance, and transparency. Solutions that pass a BMM assessment are published in the GBA Web3 Emerging Technology Directory, a resource shared with over 500 government offices worldwide.
GBA also hosts events such as the "Future of Money, Governance, and the Law," bringing together policymakers, industry innovators, and global thought leaders to shape the future of money, governance, and the law. These events aim to educate lawmakers about the rapid evolution of technologies and their economic and policy impacts across both the public and private sectors.
Through its initiatives and events, GBA plays a pivotal role in promoting the use of blockchain technology in government, aiming to improve public services and foster collaboration between the public and private sectors.
