The blockchain wallets developed by Humbl were approved to be used in the county of Santa Cruz for a wide range of government services.
A piece of positive news has emerged from California for the crypto space as Santa Cruz County’s Board of Supervisors approved a Humbl-built blockchain wallet to be used as a tool for services provided by the government. The blockchain wallet and its underlying technology will be used in simple local services like parking, bicycle registration, and others.
A year back in 2022, the Santa Cruz County Board accepted a proposal for a pilot program of the blockchain wallet from Humbl.
Since then, a law has also been passed by the state of California which allows the local county governments to issue records for important documents like birth, marriage, and death certificates.
The blockchain wallet will likely be responsible for the storage of such records now in a secure manner.
Santa Cruz County Supervisor Zach Friend said, “We believe the value of digitizing paper documents, records, and services is an important step forward for the convenience of Santa Cruz County residents and improving equity and access for our community. We look forward to driving this digital wallet innovation.”
The CEO of Humbl, Brian Foote, proudly welcomed the approval of Santa Cruz County for the program and claimed their goal was to create a blockchain and digital wallet registry system that could serve as a link between citizens and governments for secure and faster communications.
A contract was made between the parties to oversee the creation of the new My Santa Cruz County (MYSCC) app, which will use the blockchain wallets. Reports on the development will be continued to be provided by County staff for a launch around September 2023.
