China’s Xiongan New Area government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ConsenSys to bring blockchain technology to the “smart city,” the South China Morning Post reported July 23.
ConsenSys, a blockchain software technology company focusing on Ethereum (ETH) development, has confirmed they will advise the Xiongan government on blockchain and software solutions in order to establish it as a “next generation smart city [and] leading blockchain innovation hub,”according to the (MoU) signed in Beijing.
In April 2017, Chinese president Xi Jinping announced plans to build Xiongan as a special economic zone spanning three counties.
The partnership with ConsenSys is the “first known case” when Xiongan has brought in a foreign company for urban technological development, the South China Morning Post reports.
Also in July, the Chinese city of Nanjing launched an almost $1.5 billion investment fund for blockchain development.
