CZ visits Palau to kick off BNB Chain-supported ID NFTs for digital residency program

Regulation

The Republic of Palau announced Friday that it will issue identification cards to its digital residents in the form of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) on Binance’s BNB Chain blockchain. Binance founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) was on hand in the Pacific Island nation for the unveiling of the NFTs and to meet with Palauan President Surangel S. Whipps, Jr.

Palau introduced its Root Name System (RNS) Digital Residency program in January. California-based Cryptic Labs took part in the development of the program, which provides global citizens with identity cards issued by the government of Palau. Physical cards already exist.

Planned uses for the new RNS ID NFTs include Know Your Customer (KYC) functions, access to digital banking, verified on-chain signatures and accessing services requiring government-issued identification.

“We want to create the Palauan dream,” Whipps said at a press conference, adding:

“And having you here, CZ and Binance, opens that door of opportunity to develop new industries, new businesses here that hopefully can bring our young people back to Palau and be part of the new technology and innovations that’s out there.”

“There’s regulations we need to work on within the digital residency program, but more importantly, the Corporate Registry Act,” Whipps continued. “It’s good to have a commitment from Binance to help us from the regulatory side.”

CZ said in his response, “We will definitely explore further investment in the Palau ecosystem. […] We have already expressed our interest in, outside of crypto, traditional financial service sectors, including payment services, digital banks, etc.”

CZ went on to call Palau, which has a population of less than 20,000, a “very good prototyping ground.” Palau has distinct advantages for innovation, he said, as small countries are able to move fast to innovate, and Palau’s “kind of U.S.-driven” economy is fairly well-developed.

  1. Thanks for your article. One other thing is always that individual states in the United states of america have their own personal laws that affect property owners, which makes it extremely tough for the the legislature to come up with a fresh set of recommendations concerning property foreclosures on people. The problem is that each state has own legislation which may interact in a negative manner in terms of foreclosure guidelines.
