As of early 2026, Blockchain technology in Vietnam has gone beyond experimental models. As noted by Tan Phat Digital, blockchain technology currently serves as a "trust infrastructure", allowing deep integration into all socio-economic activities thanks to the high-speed and low-cost transaction processing capabilities of layer 2 networks.
1. Applications in Agriculture & Supply Chain (Traceability)
This is the field that has witnessed the strongest boom to meet strict international export standards.
Traceability of coffee and wood (EUDR Compliant): Large export enterprises have applied the solution of linking farm GPS coordinates with shipment codes on Blockchain. This provides immutable evidence that the product is not cultivated on deforested land, helping goods quickly clear customs into the EU market.
Sagrifood closed food chain: The system has issued more than 35,000 traceability stamps for herbal pork and VietGAP pork products. Consumers just need to scan the QR code to see the entire history from food production, animal husbandry, slaughter to shelves.
Cold Chain Management: Integrate IoT sensors with Blockchain to record the temperature and humidity of seafood and fruit containers exported to Japan. All temperature fluctuations are recorded in real time, automatically triggering alerts to ensure quality.
Digital agricultural product passport: Each shipment is given a unique identifier (GS1-compliant), storing certificates of pesticide residues and green certificates, helping to increase the value of the "Made in Vietnam" brand.

2. Finance & Payment Revolution (Fintech)
Finance is the field where Blockchain demonstrates absolute superiority in speed and cost of cross-border transactions.
Remittances and International Payments using Stablecoins: Using stablecoins (such as USDT, USDC) on a high-speed network helps people receive money from abroad in just a few seconds with near-zero transaction fees, instead of taking 3-5 days through the traditional banking system.
Travel payment (Basal Pay): In Da Nang, foreign tourists can now use digital assets to directly pay for accommodation and food services through an integrated e-wallet, helping to boost digital tourism spending.
Tokenization of real assets (RWA):
Real assets Real estate: Split ownership of apartments or office buildings into tokens, allowing small capital investors to participate in the market and increase liquidity.
Carbon Credits: Record and trade emission rights on a centralized exchange, ensuring transparency, no duplication and easy tracking for businesses aiming for Net Zero.
Decentralized Credit and Lending DeFi:Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can access capital based on transaction history and commodity flows that have been authenticated on Blockchain instead of relying solely on traditional collateral.
3. State Governance & Digital Identity (Identity)
Blockchain helps personalize data and enhance transparency in public services.
Identity authentication on VNeID (NDAChain): Integrates a decentralized authentication layer into the national identification application, allowing people to self-manage access to personal data when performing administrative procedures or banking transactions goods.
Electronic Voting and Referendum: Applying the SmartBallot.io system for on-site elections or collecting residents' opinions on infrastructure projects. Blockchain ensures that each vote is unique, anonymous and the results cannot be modified.
Document Digitization and Digital Notarization: Documents such as red books and birth certificates are issued electronic versions on the blockchain, helping to compare and authenticate at notary offices instantly, eliminating the problem of fake documents.
4. Education & Healthcare (Credentials & Healthcare)
Protecting user rights and information security are top priorities in these two areas.
National diploma authentication (KMASC): All university degrees and vocational certificates are issued as encrypted records. Employers can immediately verify candidate qualifications via QR codes without the need for complicated manual reconciliation procedures.
Unified electronic medical record (EHR): Patients retain the right to access their medical history. This data is securely shared between hospitals (like Vinmec or tClinic.io systems), helping doctors diagnose more accurately without having to repeat old tests.
Pharmaceutical quality control: Monitor the production process and expiration date of drugs from the factory to the user, thoroughly preventing counterfeit or expired drugs from circulating on the market.
5. Logistics, Insurance & Art Copyright
Warehouse automation (Viettel Post, Gemadept): Use smart contracts to automatically confirm orders and trigger payment when the robot completes the picking process or when the transport unit successfully delivers the goods.
Parametric agricultural insurance: Automatically pay compensation to farmers when meteorological station data records rainfall or the wind exceeds the natural disaster threshold, there is no need for a manual appraisal process.
Copyright protection (NFT): Music and art artists release works via NFT to establish ownership, and receive automatic royalties every time the work is traded on the secondary market.

6. Blockchain and AI Interference (Trustworthy AI)
According to analysis by Tan Phat Digital, this combination is solving the biggest problem of AI which is trust.
Authentication of data sources for AI: Blockchain records the origin of the data used to train AI, ensuring the model does not learn from false information or copyright infringement.
Japan Sign AI decisions:Every inference step of self-operating AI systems is recorded on the ledger, helping humans audit and understand why AI makes important decisions.
2026 Economic Impact Analysis
From a practical perspective, the implementation of these use cases brings impressive numbers to businesses:
Cuts Costs: Reduced logistics operating costs by an average of 33-37% thanks to eliminating intermediaries and paperwork.
Processing speed: Time for approving invoices and international payments decreased from a few days to a few minutes (81% reduction in waiting time).
Efficiency of investment (ROI): 82% of business executives have Blockchain application reports positive ROI after only 24 months of implementation.
Asset liquidity: Tokenization helps the digital asset market in Vietnam achieve stable trading volume, attracting large international capital flows.
Challenges and Difficulties in Actual Implementation
Despite great potential, Tan Phat Digital identifies barriers The following main obstacles in 2026:
Lack of highly qualified personnel: Vietnam has more than 1 million IT workers but only about 700 people working in the field of AI/Blockchain and about 300 true experts. Only 6.7% of logistics businesses are satisfied with the skills of current employees.
Inadequate technical infrastructure: In non-urban areas, fiber optic networks and IoT devices are still limited, making it difficult to deploy traceability of agricultural products on a large scale.
Large initial investment costs: On average, businesses have to spend from $1 to 5 billion VND/year for software, cloud storage, sensors and personnel training.
Interoperability: The lack of connection between different Blockchain platforms creates "data oases", increasing integration costs and lengthening deployment time.
Resistance to change: Many business leaders lack vision or commitment to digital transformation, while employees fear that AI and Blockchain technology will replace their jobs.
