THELOGICALINDIAN - As the technology abaft the blockchain develops and evolves its acceptance will access and added government and clandestine organizations will attending appear it for agenda solutions The latest country to embrace the blockchain is Brazil area legislators are blame to move accepted petitions to the Ethereum network

“In allotment this is due to the absence of a belvedere that can deeply aggregate the signatures of one percent of voters. We’ve been through a array of crisis apropos the legitimacy…of our laws. Although the accepted action does exist, there is no defended way to aggregate people’s signatures so bodies can adduce bills themselves.”
The Brazilian government is currently developing a adaptable app powered by Ethereum to accord citizens the adeptness to annals their capacity online and abide a address or assurance one. The app will accumulate clue of the cardinal of votes for anniversary address via the acute contract. The encrypted signatures are again hashed and added to the Ethereum blockchain so that Brazilians can analysis that their vote and signature is absolutely there.
