The IWBDC is a contest from the Indian government. They want to see new ideas. They also want to make it possible to use crypto tokens to sign documents on the web browser.
India is looking ahead in the world of crypto and Web3. They want to make a web browser that can use crypto tokens to sign documents. This will make online transactions and messages safer.
On August 9, 2023, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) organized a program to start the Indian Web Browser Development Challenge (IWBDC) in New Delhi.
The IWBDC is like a contest. It wants people from all over India who know about technology to create a web browser just for India. This browser should also have a special certificate from CCA India to show it’s trustworthy.
This is a good step for crypto in India because the government hasn’t done much before. Even though the Central Bank is against regular crypto, they are supporting a digital currency of their own.
Heading Toward Web3
The press release says that the launch of the Indian Web Browser Development Challenge (IWBDC) can make digital transactions safe with the help of crypto tokens. It’s a contest to create web browsers that are made in India.
The announcement says:
“The IWBDC is a contest that wants people who love technology to make a web browser just for India. This browser should have its own safe place for trusted things and a special certificate from CCA India. It should also have new and good features for security and keeping data private.”
But, in May 2023, the Indian Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, said they’re working on letting people use Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for crypto transactions. The Indian government wants to support Web3 even though they haven’t made clear rules for crypto.
This can make crypto safer and help the industry. The IWBDC will give $0.4 million to the winner, and people have until July 1, 2024, to join.
