Kazakhstan partners with Solana to establish a 'Solana Economic Zone' as Central Asia's first blockchain zone.
The initiative aims to position Kazakhstan as a blockchain hub and promote Web3 technologies.
The collaboration seeks to attract global talent and boost the country's economy.
The project includes a technology accelerator resembling Dubai's Crypto Centre.
Kazakhstan's Digital Development Minister views it as a crucial step towards building resilient digital infrastructure.
The economic zone will test next-gen solutions like asset tokenization and train Web3 talent.
The Solana Economic Zone focuses on developing tokenized capital markets, creating a Web3 developer community, and providing infrastructure and incentives.
A pilot project will integrate tokenized products with the Astana International Exchange (AIX).
Training programs will be launched with local universities, emphasizing the Rust programming language.
The partnership aligns with Solana's vision and aims to strengthen global state relations.
Kazakhstan intends to enhance its role in the digital economy through this blockchain initiative.
