Abstract: A system and method are provided for automatically validating users through a country, location or residence specific manner, for example to permit access to a blockchain enabled application. Optionally, such validation comprises transmission of a code to a valid communication device, capable of receiving an SMS or other message type, that validates the location and/or citizenship of the user. Optionally, additionally or alternatively, such validation comprises the application of a national citizenship and/or residency based digital schema, such as the DigiD digital identification schema of the Netherlands. The user may be validated as being a resident or citizen of a country, and/or otherwise having a valid attachment to a particular country, location or residence. Alternatively, the user may be validated as not being a resident or citizen of a country, and/or otherwise as not having a valid attachment to a particular country, location or residence.
