Vietnam Launches NDAChain Blockchain to Modernize Infrastructure with 3,600 TPS Capacity

Vietnam has launched NDAChain, a national blockchain platform designed to modernize its digital infrastructure and enhance data security across critical sectors. The initiative, developed by the National Data Association (NDA) and managed by the Ministry of Public Security’s Data Innovation and Exploitation Center, aims to create a trusted, transparent, and scalable verification system for e-government, finance, healthcare, and logistics [1][2][3]. As a Layer 1 permissioned blockchain, NDAChain operates with 49 validator nodes managed by state entities and private companies such as SunGroup, Zalo, and Masan, ensuring controlled access while maintaining high performance [4][5].

NDAChain employs a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus model, where only pre-approved validators confirm transactions. This approach is complemented by zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology, which verifies data without exposing sensitive information, enhancing privacy [6]. The platform can process 1,200 to 3,600 transactions per second, a capacity designed to support low-latency operations for government and enterprise use cases [7][8]. Integration with Vietnam’s national identity system (VNeID) enables seamless digital identity verification, while tools like NDAKey—a mobile app for instant ID checks—and NDATrace, a product-tracking solution aligned with EU standards, aim to reduce fraud and improve supply chain transparency [9][10].

The platform’s rollout is part of a broader national strategy to digitize services and align with global standards. By year-end 2025, NDAChain will be embedded in the National Data Center, with plans to expand to local governments and educational institutions by 2026 [11]. Long-term goals include evolving into Layer 2 solutions and fostering international collaboration while adhering to frameworks like GDPR and W3C DID [12]. Authorities have also hinted at pilot programs for digital assets and crypto trading platforms, signaling ambitions to position Vietnam as a hub for blockchain innovation [13].

The launch reflects Vietnam’s focus on balancing centralized oversight with decentralized technologies to drive digital transformation. By prioritizing security, interoperability, and practical applications, NDAChain seeks to streamline public services, protect citizen data, and integrate Vietnamese businesses into global supply chains. Analysts note that the platform’s emphasis on real-world tools, such as decentralized identity verification and product traceability, marks a shift from theoretical blockchain experiments to tangible solutions [14].

The initiative aligns with Vietnam’s broader economic agenda to strengthen its digital infrastructure, which has been prioritized as a key pillar for sustainable growth. With NDAChain’s technical capabilities and strategic integration, the government aims to address challenges in data management and cybersecurity while fostering trust in digital ecosystems.

Financial implications of NDAChain’s introduction see no immediate impact on major cryptocurrencies or the open DeFi space, as it’s a permissioned blockchain primarily featuring state data [1]. Industry observers highlight its alignment with international traceability standards and potential role in cybersecurity and state modernization initiatives [1].
