BLOCKCHAIN 3

What is the primary purpose of integrating blockchain technology into government systems?

• To increase centralized control
• To enhance transparency and accountability
• To decrease citizen engagement
• To limit access to public records

Which of the following best describes the immutability feature of blockchain in government applications?

• Data can be easily altered by authorized personnel
• Data cannot be changed once recorded, ensuring its integrity
• Data can be manipulated without leaving a trace
• Data is stored on traditional servers, making it vulnerable to tampering

How does blockchain technology help in preventing fraudulent activities in government transactions?

• By providing easier access to sensitive information
• By centralizing data storage
• By ensuring secure and transparent transactions
• By increasing bureaucratic procedures

Which aspect of blockchain technology allows for decentralized decision-making in government processes?

• Smart contracts
• Centralized authority
• Private key encryption
• Proof of work

Which blockchain consensus mechanism is most commonly used in government applications due to its energy efficiency?

• Proof of Work (PoW)
• Proof of Stake (PoS)
• Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)
• Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT)

In which of the following scenarios would blockchain technology be least effective in government applications?

• Land registration and property rights management
• Voting systems
• Tax collection and revenue management
• National security and intelligence gathering

What role do smart contracts play in improving government services through blockchain technology?

• They introduce unnecessary complexity into bureaucratic processes
• They automate and enforce the execution of agreements without intermediaries
• They prioritize manual verification over automated validation
• They limit access to government services for marginalized communities

Which of the following is NOT a potential challenge of implementing blockchain in government systems?

• Regulatory compliance
• Interoperability with legacy systems
• Lack of transparency
• Scalability issues

How does blockchain technology enhance data security in government record-keeping?

• By storing all data in a single, easily accessible database
• By encrypting data using traditional methods
• By distributing data across multiple nodes, making it more difficult to tamper with
• By relying solely on physical security measures

Which government function is most likely to benefit from the transparency provided by blockchain technology?

• Tax evasion
• Corruption detection
• Bureaucratic delays
• Political lobbying
