Selected RFP:

Coordination Rails for City Governments & Urban Systems

An RFP to design and implement verifiable, privacy-preserving infrastructure for local governments and municipalities to improve efficiency, reliability and flexibility, of urban services and systems. The primary focus is on enabling privacy-preserving coordination across government organizations and partners to allow necessary information to be shared, verified or otherwise acted upon, without exposing sensitive underlying data. These workflows should operate across agencies and vendors without introducing new centralized platforms or data aggregation and disclosure risks that many cities are currently legally constrained by. Projects should deliver deployable primitives, standards, and/or scoped pilots that enable cities to coordinate shared multi-actor processes while preserving institutional and citizen privacy., These deliverables could include the use of stablecoins, smart contract automation, zero-knowledge credentials, and other forms of lower-level cryptographic verifiability, such as merkle proofs, to real urban workflows (e.g. permitting, mobility networks, reporting, public finance, elections, etc). The focus is on pragmatic, incremental implementations that run alongside current tools and institutional processes rather than replace them.
