Sevastopol has been familiar with sanctions since 2014; modern blockchain technologies are one of the effective tools for replacing the Western financial system. It is necessary, based on the competencies and developments of local IT companies in the field of fintech 2.0, to propose real measures to build a competitive financial infrastructure— quotes serial IT entrepreneur, venture investor, founder of Technopark «IT Crimea» Dmitry Gachko.

Thanks to a combination of infrastructural and economic factors, the city can become a pilot region for implementing an experimental regime and hosting an operating site.
