Vietnam Launches NDAChain Blockchain with 3,600 TPS to Boost Digital Sovereignty

Vietnam has launched NDAChain, a national blockchain platform designed to enhance digital infrastructure and advance its digital sovereignty strategy. Managed by a public-private consortium including state agencies and corporations like SunGroup, Zalo, and Sovico, the platform features 49 validator nodes and operates as a permissioned Layer 1 blockchain under the oversight of the Ministry of Public Security’s Data Innovation and Exploitation Center. With a transaction processing capacity of 1,200 to 3,600 transactions per second (TPS), NDAChain leverages Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus and zero-knowledge proofs to balance speed with privacy [1]. The platform’s primary objectives include integrating national data systems, modernizing government services, and securing critical sectors such as finance, education, and healthcare by 2026 [2].

The National Data Association, in collaboration with the Data Innovation and Exploitation Center, has developed NDAKey for decentralized identity verification and NDATrace for product tracking, aligning with the European Union’s EBSI framework. These tools aim to combat fraud, ensure data privacy, and improve cross-border supply chain transparency. By 2025, NDAChain will be integrated into Vietnam’s National Data Center, with plans to expand to local governments and educational institutions by 2026 [3]. The platform’s compliance with global standards like GDPR and W3C DID positions it to integrate into international digital ecosystems [4].

Analysts highlight NDAChain’s strategic significance in modernizing Vietnam’s governance and economic operations. Its PoA model restricts validation to pre-approved entities, enabling regulatory oversight while maintaining decentralized efficiency. This hybrid approach mirrors global trends where governments adopt blockchain to retain control over digital ecosystems. Smart contracts for automating public services align with Vietnam’s 2026 digital infrastructure goals, emphasizing practical applications over theoretical experiments [5]. NDAKey and NDATrace address immediate challenges in digital identity and supply chain integrity, which analysts argue could catalyze broader economic reforms by improving trust and transparency [6].

The platform’s rollout has sparked discussions about Vietnam’s long-term blockchain ambitions. While current focus remains on government and enterprise use cases, authorities are exploring a pilot for digital asset trading, signaling potential expansion into financial markets. However, success will depend on secure scalability and public trust, particularly amid growing concerns over data privacy in digital economies [7]. Industry observers note NDAChain’s alignment with international traceability standards and its role in cybersecurity and state modernization initiatives, underscoring its potential to support Vietnam’s digital sovereignty agenda [2].
