The ETA Foundation has issued a policy guide for Governments and institutions. The company disclosed that the document was primarily aimed at policymakers and institutional decision makers who assessed the block chain infrastructure, and sought to explain why the Tokyo formula was suitable for public scenes such as digital identity, public records and asset monetization.

Document focus on public sector adoption

The guide will describe the Taifeng as a neutral digital infrastructure, not just a financial network. The Foundation believes that the long-term reliance on centralized intermediaries for digital services such as payments, identity systems, registration and archives management is prone to single-point failures, as well as risks to governance and access control.

In its paper, the Foundation suggested that policy makers, when selecting bottom-up networks, should distinguish between the decentralized public block chain and networks still controlled by companies or foundations. It is judged that the governance structure has a direct impact on the suitability of the platform for long-term public sector use.

The Foundation emphasizes the network's running records.

In support of this idea, the paper lists a set of indicators for the Taifung network, including operational stability, certificationer distribution and developer ecology.

  • It's been running since 2015.
  • As of March 2026, ETH was worth approximately $76 billion
  • Networks maintained by certifiers and multiple independent clients in different regions

The Foundation cited a report from OpenZeppelin that the above features helped to reduce the risk of a single operator controlling the network and made the system more resilient in the face of failures, cyberattacks or political pressure.

Several government pilot cases have been cited

The document also lists a number of publicly available applications and attempts to show that government departments have started testing relevant technologies.

These include the decentrization of identity projects in Bhutan and Buenos Aires, as well as the land registration project in India based on the Etherak. In this way, the Foundation stresses that the ETA can be seen as part of the digital public infrastructure and not just as a network of encrypted asset transactions.

In the context of the continuing exploration by Governments of identity, asset monetization and the uplinking of public records, the guide also shows that the ISF is further promoting agency narratives and is attempting to highlight the screening criterion of “decentre governance” in policy discussions.
