About

A business league for public-interest technology

The GBA is a business league promoting the business interests of our members while driving support in the development of ethical and sustainable blockchain solutions and leaders through education, certifications, and developing best practices and standards.

Who we are

GBA connects people and organizations with blockchain technology-based solutions to problems typically faced by government entities.

We focus on our members to promote blockchain technology solutions to government but do not advocate for any specific policy position.

GBA cultivates professional workflows between technologists, public policymakers and application specialists. Our chapters, working groups and members serve as a catalyst in creating creative, profitable and positive leveraging of blockchain technology.
