Delaware Awards IBM $738,000 Contract to Develop Prototype Blockchain Filing System

IBM Assumes Leadership Role
IBM recently won a $740 million contract to build blockchain and other digital technology initiatives for Australia’s government, in addition to existing contracts with four federal agencies. Australia hopes to be one of the top three digital governments by 2025.
IBM To Build Prototype
With the $738,000 contract, IBM will test computer code for a blockchain prototype for a future contract of a full-scale system.

Kristopher Knight, the deputy secretary of state, likened IBM’s role to that of an architect creating a skyscraper design prior to construction. The state will use the prototype to determine how the technology can help businesses registered in Delaware.
