#### Blockchain Can Record Refugee’s Identification

> Ethereum is progressing at breakneck speed with state-sponsored integrations also coming from Russia this week.
Members of the Ethereum Foundation signed a deal with government-owned bank VEB with an eye to increasing knowledge and propagation of Ethereum Blockchain solutions.
Registering refugees on the Blockchain meanwhile has been a focus of industry startups for several years. 
In 2015, BitNation succeeded in documenting the first such arrivals, at a time when government responses were far from set in stone.

>“The refugee crisis in Europe is massive, and will last for years to come with millions of stateless people who can’t open bank accounts, or even take a job, legally,” founder Susanne Tarkowski-Tempelhof told Cointelegraph at the time.

>“There’s a huge, and urgent vacuum to fill. The governments won’t do it, because they’re in a political deadlock when it comes to immigration.”
