This article breaks down Ethiopia’s Digital 2030 strategy and how it puts blockchain at the center of future national systems.
Ethiopia’s Digital 2030 strategy places blockchain at the core of its Industry 5.0 agenda, treating it as essential infrastructure rather than an experimental tool. The plan highlights blockchain for secure data, transaction authentication, and national digital systems.
Mining receives the strongest focus. Ethiopia aims to use blockchain for mineral traceability, compliance, and investor confidence, using Rwanda’s tin-tracking model as a blueprint. Agriculture also features heavily, with blockchain-backed coffee traceability designed to boost export premiums and guarantee verified origins.
The strategy includes blockchain for logistics and trade corridors to cut disputes and improve cross-border transparency. In finance, Ethiopia signals openness to blockchain-based remittances and calls for regulatory sandboxes for crypto, stablecoins, and DeFi—an unusually progressive stance.
A standout element is the proposal for regulated crypto mining to monetize surplus renewable energy and support rural electrification. Overall, Ethiopia is positioning itself as a Web3-ready state, integrating blockchain across governance, trade, finance, and energy.
