Analysis: The U.S. government may eventually use multiple private and public blockchains for different purposes

Odaily Planet Daily News: Zach Rynes, a well-known Chainlink community contributor, wrote in X: "It is extremely unlikely that the US government will use a unified blockchain to cover all departments and agencies. Do you think the ledger requirements of EPA and FDA are exactly the same as those of DoD and DHS? Probably not. The US government will eventually use multiple private and public ledgers for a variety of different purposes, such as improving spending transparency or automating manual processes. What is certain is that: -All these different public/private blockchain ledgers need to be able to communicate and share data between agencies through cross-chain interoperability standards; -Agencies need to be able to seamlessly connect their existing back-end systems and infrastructure to the various public/private chains used by the government through an abstraction layer; -Agencies that use blockchain to automate manual processes need to access external data resources in order to securely trigger smart contract functions using oracles. A unified platform is needed to meet all these off-chain data, cross-chain interoperability, and legacy system connection requirements."
