By integrating blockchain, authorities aim to enhance the transparency and accuracy of systems such as social security and poverty alleviation funds, thereby reducing corruption and misuse.

In December 2023, China launched the Real-Name Decentralized Identifier System , a national-level decentralized identifier system developed by the First Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security and the Blockchain-based Service Network China. RealDID facilitates real-name identity verification using blockchain technology, offering services such as data encryption for personal data protection and secure private logins. This system allows residents to access online services using decentralized identifiers and private keys, maintaining anonymity with platform operators while complying with real-name registration regulations.
