There is an urgent need to make blockchain technologies democratized so that its access and use are enhanced in such a way that policymakers, SMEs, industry leaders, and citizens can be better served.

It is a fact that present blockchain technologies remain unable to meet such needs, thereby preventing a large-scale adoption of blockchain in critical business applications.
An ever-expanding sector such as blockchain includes several players which is also on the rise. As a result, the presence of different networks leads to a lack of a standard for a much required mutual interaction.
Further, as cryptocurrency rates spiked last year, regulators became more and more anxious about the tentative nature of the market.
