blockchain technology. The voting system enables people to vote for social
evolution programs. In addition, Strategic Business Innovator Group (SBI) is
generating an endeavor capital fund to invest in this technology. In upcoming
years, it is estimated that blockchain technology market to grow increasingly
due to rising adoption of technology, huge population of the young people, rising
