The Dfinity Foundation, developer of the Internet Computer blockchain, will work with the UNDP on the program.


Internet Computer will provide infrastructure for securing and managing UTC. The Singapore Monetary Authority and other bodies collaborated with UNDP on UTC, which was introduced in November and intended to encourage the participation of micro, small and medium enterprises in the digital economy.An ecosystem in the making


The pilot is expected to roll out in 10 countries in time. Dfinity Foundation founder Dominic Williams said in a statement:“MSMEs represent the backbone of most economies, and the UTC initiative represents a unique opportunity to bring transparency and increase inclusion within a financial system that often fails to cater to their needs.”


The MAS and Bank of Ghana — another participant in UTC development — completed a proof-of-concept using the UTC in May. That project used a semi-fungible token (SFT) to transfer such information as licenses and trade records. Know Your Customer verification can also be included in an SFT.UTC data structure.

Cambodia provides fertile ground for digital experimentation. The Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia has an agreement with Binance on developing digital asset regulation. Its CBDC-like Bakong currency can be used worldwide on the Alipay retail network and has served as a model for Laos’ proposed central bank digital currency, which is in the proof-of-concept phase.Source: Dfinity
