Can anti-fraud blockchain projects be considered national security?

Yes, it is possible, depending on the case. In the EB-2 NIW, an anti-fraud blockchain project has the potential to connect to a national security argument, since it helps protect the integrity of transactions and sensitive data critical to the economy and infrastructure.

The decisive factor is going beyond technological innovation itself. To carry weight as a national security argument, the project must demonstrate proven strategic impact on the protection of vital infrastructure and the country’s cybersecurity. Being good technology is not enough: you must show why it matters at a national scale.

In the EB-2 NIW, the focus is on proving that your expertise brings significant and unique benefit to the United States. If your work in anti-fraud blockchain strengthens strategic security areas, it may be recognized as being in the national interest.

Each case undergoes a careful analysis of impacts and applicability. Gather robust evidence, rely on credible sources, and be wary of promises of guaranteed results. A specialist can help frame the argument.
