This resolution expresses Congress's support for exploring and promoting distributed ledger technologies, commonly known as blockchain, as tools for strengthening democracy, protecting human rights, and improving government transparency worldwide. The measure urges the State Department, USAID, and other federal agencies to study and support the development of these technologies for applications like identity management, land registration, combating misinformation, and delivering humanitarian aid more efficiently. The resolution also calls for the U.S. government to engage with technology experts and international partners to establish ethical guidelines and regulatory frameworks for responsible use of these technologies while protecting against misuse. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are included in the resolution, as it is a non-binding expression of congressional sentiment rather than appropriations legislation. This measure affects federal policymakers and international development agencies by directing them to consider distributed ledger technologies in their democratic governance and human rights initiatives globally.
