SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Blockchain or distributed ledger technology 
allows computers connected by a peer-to-peer net-
work to reach agreement over a shared ledger of 
data. Changes to the shared ledger can only be ef-
fected if the majority of the computers in the net-
work verify the validity of the change and agree to 
its inclusion in the ledger. 
(2) The Connected Commerce Council found 
that 72 percent of small businesses increased their 
use of digital tools during the COVID–19 crisis, and 
48 percent utilized a new digital tool. 
(3) As small businesses increasingly move their 
operations online, it is critical that any and all infor-
mation relevant to the business is protected and se-
cure. Blockchain technology is an additional tool 
that small businesses can leverage to ensure that the 
operation is adequately protected from cyberattack. 
(4) Blockchains are decentralized and distrib-
uted across peer-to-peer networks that are contin-
ually updated and kept in sync. Because these net-
works are not contained in a central location, they 
do not have a single point of failure and cannot be 
changed from a single computer operating within the 
network. These features of blockchain technology
