Blockchain Technology Set to Enhance US Government Operations

區塊鏈技術將增強美國政府的運作

Elon Musk, head of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is exploring the implementation of blockchain technology across US government functions. This initiative aims to enhance tracking and reduce federal spending.

新成立的政府效率部（DOGE）負責人馬斯克（Elon Musk）正在探索在美國政府職能部門實施區塊鏈技術。該措施旨在加強追蹤並減少聯邦支出。

According to Bloomberg, the DOGE also plans to leverage blockchain for data security, payment processing, and building management. Consultations with representatives from permissionless blockchain networks have been conducted to discuss potential applications within government operations.

根據彭博社報道，DOGE 還計劃利用區塊鏈實現資料安全、支付處理和建築管理。已經與無需許可的區塊鏈網路的代表進行了磋商，討論政府運營中的潛在應用。

This initiative aligns with Musk's broader objective of optimizing federal spending and promoting transparency through accountability.

該計劃符合馬斯克（Musk）優化聯邦支出和通過問責制促進透明度的更廣泛目標。

Blockchain and Government Transparency

區塊鏈和政府透明度

Musk's efforts to utilize blockchain for greater transparency are not a novel concept in US politics. In 2024, former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advocated for placing the entire federal budget on a blockchain. He emphasized:

馬斯克在利用區塊鏈以提高透明度的努力並不是美國政治中的新概念。 2024年，前總統候選人羅伯特·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）提倡將整個聯邦預算放在區塊鏈上。他強調：

"Every American can access every budget item, anytime, making government spending subject to 300 million watchful eyes."

“每個美國人都可以隨時查看每個預算項目，這使得政府支出受到 3 億人的關注。”

Kennedy's proposal received support from advocates of limited government and sound fiscal practices, citing concerns over excessive government spending.

肯尼迪的提議得到了政府和合理財政慣例的倡導者的支持，理由是對政府過度支出的擔憂。

DOGE Takes Initial Steps
