BlockBeats News, January 21 — Sei Development Foundation announced today that it has partnered with the Kingdom of Bhutan’s main sovereign wealth fund, Druk Holding and Investments Ltd (DHI), to deploy and operate Sei validation nodes in the country. The plan is led by DHI’s InnoTech division, with validation nodes expected to go live in the first quarter of 2026.
This collaboration will significantly enhance Bhutan’s blockchain infrastructure capabilities and open new avenues for data monetization, scientific progress, and financial technology. It also creates opportunities to explore asset tokenization and deploy innovative economic incentive mechanisms in the country. This partnership is one of the results of Bhutan’s ongoing digital transformation initiatives.
Part of this project is supported by Sapien Capital, an investment firm focused on accelerating scientific and innovative development on the Sei chain.
