The Malaysia Blockchain Infrastructure aims to reduce blockchain development friction by unifying fragmented digital ecosystems.
Malaysia recently launched the Malaysia Blockchain Infrastructure (MBI) which leverages Zetrix’s proven blockchain technology.
Jointly developed by MIMOS Berhad, the national applied R&D centre and MY E.G. Services Berhad, MBI is a government-backed national blockchain backbone that will accelerate the development and use of the technology.
Zetrix, an established public layer-1 blockchain network with proven public and enterprise sector deployment across Asia, serves as the foundation layer to deliver interoperability, security, and transaction efficiency that meets both government and commercial requirements.
MBI allows developers and businesses in Malaysia to build secure, scalable and user-friendly blockchain-based services without needing to navigate the technical complexity of each platform. It will underpin a broad range of use cases, from supply chain traceability and digital identity to decentralised finance and tokenisation of digital assets.
Services such as the MyDigitalID will also benefit from MBI’s integrated capabilities, ensuring verifiability, accessibility and interoperability, which in turn will enable identity verification for complex cross-border and commercial service use cases.Â
In tandem with the Malaysian MADANI vision, which is guided by core values of Sustainability (Kemampanan), Prosperity (Kesejahteraan), Innovation (Daya Cipta), Respect (Hormat), Trust (Keyakinan), and Compassion (Ihsan); MBI plays a vital role in enhancing the nation’s global competitiveness in blockchain development.
MBI also aims strengthens national efforts to foster digital inclusivity, public-private cooperation, and economic resilience.
Dr Saat Shukri Embong, MIMOS Acting President and Group Chief Executive Officer, said, “MBI will drive competitiveness, positioning Malaysia as a regional leader in blockchain adoption and development, potentially attracting investment and highly-skilled talent. More importantly, it embodies digital inclusivity, making blockchain technology accessible to all Malaysians, regardless of their technical expertise.
“The launch of Malaysia Blockchain Infrastructure represents a watershed moment for blockchain adoption in Malaysia and across ASEAN,” said TS Wong, MYEG Group Managing Director and Zetrix Co-Founder. “By integrating Zetrix’s capabilities with multiple blockchain networks, we’re laying the crucial foundation for Malaysia’s digital economy leadership in the region. Ultimately, MBI empowers the next generation of blockchain innovations that will benefit all Malaysians.”
The launch of MBI is an effort to reinforce Malaysia’s position as a contributor to regional digital infrastructure efforts, providing a scalable, trusted foundation that can serve as a reference point for interoperability and governance across borders.
