The Best NFT Government Project has been awarded to the Dubai Police NFT project. The project, which will be launched in May 2021, intends to enhance public awareness about cybersecurity and promote safe online conduct. The Dubai Police NFT project entails the development of a set of digital collectible cards with various cybersecurity themes and messages. The cards may be purchased using bitcoin and are stored on a blockchain, which ensures their legitimacy and security.

The public has responded positively to the project, which has served to raise awareness about cybersecurity concerns and the necessity of online safety. The initiative has also been lauded for its creative use of blockchain technology and ability to engage the public in novel and intriguing ways. Receiving the Best NFT Government Project award attests to the project’s success and ability to foster a cybersecurity culture in the UAE. It also emphasizes the UAE’s commitment to innovation and efforts to position itself as a leader in emerging technologies.

Colonel Hussain Ahmed bin Ghalaita, Deputy Director of the General Directorate of Artificial Intelligence for Smart Applications Affairs, got the Best NFT Government Project Award at a global ceremony for the Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) award, which the Emirate of Dubai sponsored for the first time.

Hessa Al Balushi, Director of the Smart Applications Department; Lieutenant Colonel Ahmed Al Haj, Acting Director of Administrative Affairs; and the ‘Dubai Police NFT’ project team attended the ceremony, which was held in the ballroom of the Armani Hotel – Burj Khalifa.

Ultimately, the Dubai Police NFT project exemplifies how government organisations may employ cutting-edge technology to engage the public and spread critical information. More projects like these are likely in the future as governments look for new ways to use technology to better serve their population.

He also confirmed that Dubai Police is the first government entity in the UAE to create its own digital assets, as well as the first police agency in the world to launch its first set of non-fungible tokens for free via social media platforms, with 150 free digital assets representing the Force’s values of innovation, security, and communication.

He stated that the launch of non-fungible digital assets NFT by Dubai Police was consistent with the government’s orders to increase interest in digital assets and contributed to attracting those interested in this new digital trend.
