French Gendarmerie is using Tezos for cybersecurity
Tezos was designed to provide the safety and code correctness required for assets and other high value use cases. It operates a delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, whereby holders vote on changes made to the protocol.
According to Gendarmerie’s Information & Public Relations Center (SIRPA), the French Army has been using the Tezos Blockchain to authenticate its judicial expenses through a private smart contract, since September 2019.
Gendarmerie’s cybercrime division (C3N) has been using the smart contract on the Tezos blockchain to attain cryptocurrency payments from Europol-allocated funds to cover the operational costs.
The official document was posted by the main research center of Tezos, Nomadic Labs, and it affirms to be the first smart contract ever developed by a public authority.
