A blockchain built for Bangladesh.
BanglaChain is a sovereign Layer 1 network designed to give Bangladesh open, secure and transparent digital infrastructure — built by local researchers and developers, open to the world.
Why BanglaChain?
Countries increasingly need trusted digital infrastructure they can understand, participate in and build upon — rather than depend entirely on systems designed and controlled elsewhere. BanglaChain is an attempt to build that infrastructure for Bangladesh, in the open.
Sovereign Infrastructure
Digital infrastructure designed around Bangladesh's long-term interests, not borrowed or bolted on from elsewhere.
Open by Design
Open technology and transparent processes, with an ecosystem where developers can build without permission.
Decentralized
Distributed infrastructure designed to reduce dependence on any single authority or point of failure.
Built for People
Technology should create practical benefits for citizens, developers, institutions and businesses alike.
What is a Layer 1?
The products people actually use — wallets, tools and services built on top of the network.
Self-executing programs that define the rules applications run on, enforced by the network itself.
The base network where transactions are recorded, verified and secured — the Layer 1 itself.
The distributed participants who maintain, verify and secure the network together.
Technology with principles.
Five commitments that guide how BanglaChain Foundation researches, builds and governs — carried through from the Foundation's founding charter.
Transparency & accountability
Open processes, open governance, open code — by default and at every layer.
Ethical innovation
Technology is a means, never an end. Each decision is weighed against its human consequence.
Decentralized governance
Distributed authority, plural voices — building infrastructure communities can co-steward.
Sustainability
Long-horizon thinking: ecological, economic, institutional. We build to last decades, not quarters.
Technological autonomy
Reducing dependence on opaque, foreign-controlled systems — supporting local innovation and ownership.
Built here. Open to the world.
BanglaChain begins with Bangladesh — but the technology is built to connect people, ideas and applications beyond borders.

None of these applications exist on BanglaChain yet — this is a map of the categories a sovereign Layer 1 could eventually support.
Built on a long-term vision.
BanglaChain Foundation is a non-profit research and innovation organisation building open digital infrastructure, conducting public-interest policy research and advocacy, and expanding digital literacy across Bangladesh.
The Foundation runs three programs — the BanglaChain Layer 1 network, research and policy advocacy, and BanglaChain Academy — under one mission: an inclusive digital future for Bangladesh.
Knowledge, before infrastructure.
Research
In-depth research into the security, privacy and responsible design of emerging technologies — informing how BanglaChain itself is built.
Policy
Working with government, academia and civil society on responsible technology frameworks and public-interest policy.
BanglaChain Academy
A nationwide programme of workshops, training and educational resources, making digital literacy accessible to students, professionals and community leaders.
Network development is underway.
BanglaChain is under active research and development. Stages below describe the general path of a Layer 1 network — not a confirmed schedule. Specific dates and milestones will be shared as they're finalized.
