Development of the DLT infrastructure

"This [transforming the country’s economy] is possible with the enabling of the blockchain technology infrastructure with the help of [the] government and the private sector ".
He went on to say that both the public and private sectors should embrace the basic cryptocurrency technology. On the part of the government, the vice president of science and technology will implement blockchain technology between several government departments in the near future.

In seeking global cooperation, Daliri declared:
"We should coordinate with other countries around the world in terms of new technologies and blockchain is one of the problems."

Meanwhile, the second largest country in the Middle East has accelerated its blockchain run as its economy suffers from heavy US sanctions. According to reports, the country has worked on two state-supported digital currencies to evade sanctions.
Last month, the global SWIFT payment network suspended the Iranian Central Bank to use their services. As a result, the Russian Crypto Industry and Blockchain Association (RACIB) joined Iran Blockchain Labs to develop a sustainable mechanism to support state-supported cryptocurrency initiatives.
Recent reports also suggest that Iran's low-cost electricity has attempted many bitcoin miners to open up in the country. Apart from this, there are a number of local startups that use DLT. At the beginning of the month, blockchain experts from the Iranian public research institute, Sharif University of Technology, announced the intention to launch a taxi-cab app.
