In 2022 December, the Tamil Nadu Government issues Soulbound Token as a means of providing Digital Medal. These tokens have been issued to the outstanding team members, starting with the police department. Soulbound Tokens are non-fungible tokens. However, unlike the regular NFTs, the SBTs are non-transferable, which represent a person’s identity utilizing the technology of blockchain. Infact, they represent a person's reputation and accomplishments, a kind of ‘extended resume’.
In 2023 January, the Tamil Nadu Police Idol Wing has picked on the blockchain technology for various purposes. They are first in the world to use this technology for foolproof recording of complaints & redressal of grievances using the app Idol Wing CID. NFTs and Soulbound Tokens are being rewarded to informants helping it in idol seizures.
In 2023 June, Tamil Nadu has unveiled a blockchain-as-a-service infrastructure named Nambikkai Inaiyam (NI), which it refers to as the "blockchain backbone" of the state. It has also launched a blockchain-based mobile app, known as e-Pettagam app, for securely sharing digitized documents. By utilizing NI, the government can protect various records from tampering, including e-sevai certificates, academic certificates, mark sheets, licenses, and land transaction records. The e-Pettagam app, as per an official release, provides a solution for securely sharing these digitized documents.
