<p>The BSN Foundation, a Singapore-based organization dedicated to building global blockchain infrastructure, on Thursday officially <a href="https://alexablockchain.com/bsn-foundation-decentralized-internet-initiative/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> its five founding members from different regions and sectors.</p><h2 id="header-0">Broad representation</h2><p>The founding members of the BSN Foundation include Blockdaemon, a leading institutional digital asset wallet provider; Zeeve, a Los Angeles-based blockchain infrastructure automation platform; TOKO, a Hong Kong-headquartered digital asset creation platform; GFT Technologies, a German tech firm specializing in financial services and Red Date Technology, a tech firm behind the BSN Spartan Network located in Hong Kong.</p><p>Representatives from these entities <a href="https://x.com/bsnbase/status/1722901749324022105?s&#61;20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">gathered</a> at the Pan Pacific Singapore on Thursday for a launch event. The BSN Foundation will act as the governing body of the BSN Spartan Network, a public infrastructure network based on open-source virtual data centers. The launch of the foundation marks a major milestone in the BSN’s global expansion and its vision to establish a decentralized public layer of the internet.</p><p>In <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bsn-global-foundation-blockdaemon" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">discussion</a> with Cointelegraph, Tim Bailey, the Vice President of Global Business at Red Date Technology, stated:</p><p>“The BSN Foundation launch is a vital step in our global expansion, demonstrating the international recognition and support for the BSN Spartan Network’s concept and goals.” He added:</p><p>“These organizations bring expertise in areas like blockchain-as-a-service, asset tokenization, financial services, and consulting, highlighting the wide applicability and potential of the BSN Spartan Network.”</p><p>Bailey emphasized that the BSN Spartan Network is designed to change the application and governance of public chain technology. “By focusing on non-cryptocurrency public chains and a decentralized governance model, we’re not just innovating in technology but also in how global collaborations can shape the future of IT infrastructure,” Bailey stated. BSN’s strategy is focused on creating a “more stable and accessible network” for businesses around the world, distancing itself from the volatility related to traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.</p><h2 id="header-1">Chinese origins</h2><p>The BSN Spartan Network, launched in September 2022, features a non-tradable token (NTT) issued on its default chain. Each of the network’s data centers is equipped with a single registered NTT wallet for managing and holding these tokens. NTTs can be acquired using fiat currency, selected stablecoins or through various incentive programs.</p><p>The BSN Spartan Network, which originated in China as the “Blockchain-based Service Network” in early 2020, was developed with the backing of the Chinese government.</p><p>“BSN was indeed originally initiated in China. However, the BSN Spartan Network, governed by the Singapore-based BSN Foundation, is distinct from the BSN Networks in mainland China,” Bailey stated. He highlighted that the BSN Spartan Network is constructed following global standards, is entirely open source and maintains independent operations from the BSN Networks present in mainland China.</p><h2 id="header-2">UDPN proof of concept</h2><p>BSN, driven by Red Date Technology as its lead developer, had outlined plans to develop a universal digital payments network (UDPN) as early as 2021. That project continues to progress. Last month, it <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/sc-ventures-and-deutsche-bank-execute-stablecoin-payments-via-udpn-ee917d5e6107" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">emerged</a> that SC Ventures, the Singapore-based fintech investment subsidiary of British banking conglomerate Standard Chartered, had partnered with Deutsche Bank in a first proof of concept (POC) of the UDPN. That POC resulted in real-time transfers and swaps of synthetic USDC and EURS stablecoins between the two banks.</p>
