At present the topmost priority for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is to provide legal identity to the entire world’s population by 2030. This is even more of an urgent matter as talks of new coronavirus immunity ID documents are going on. But 75% of the world population does not have bank accounts because they do not have any IDs (a valid passport, birth certificate, utility bill, or any other document for KYC [Know Your Client]) to complete the process.

A blockchain-based approach could be the kick start for unchangeable records. This would also neutralize the dependency on the central government to issue ID’s or intervene in this regard. Furthermore, blockchain-based start-ups are beneficial in tracking goods, keeping records online, and offering smart contracts.
