Since the launch of Bhutan’s blockchain-based digital ID just over three months ago, more than 19,000 people have requested a foundational ID, which is issued while launching the National Digital Identity (NDI) app.
Face biometrics currently plays a significant role in Bhutan’s NDI. Users first have to perform biometric authentication to be issued a foundational ID issuance and create the wallet and then every time the Bhutan wallet is opened.
