A key provision is the establishment of a Blockchain Deployment Program within the Department of Commerce to achieve these goals. The Secretary's responsibilities include developing policies and recommendations on issues such as cybersecurity, fraud reduction, and supply chain resiliency, while also supporting the stability and security of blockchain systems.

Furthermore, the Secretary must establish advisory committees, comprising federal representatives and diverse nongovernmental stakeholders, to support the adoption and advancement of blockchain. The legislation also mandates the ongoing development and dissemination of best practices to support the private and public sectors, promote interoperability, reduce risks, and quantify the value of blockchain adoption. In carrying out these duties, the Secretary must consult regularly with stakeholders, collaborate on cost-effective approaches, and disseminate research. The Secretary is required to submit annual reports to Congress detailing activities, legislative recommendations, and emerging risks related to blockchain technology.
