Miami, 18 Sep 2026: The Age of the Automaton.
On 18 Sep 2026, Chairman Elijah John Bowdre hosted a briefing and town hall on how Miami-Dade services could run on verifiable, machine-readable rails. UnyKorn brought a 90-second live demo of MIA.

What we're showing
A 90-second walk through MIA, live:
- A resident wallet (C-node) receives a credential from a county department code (G-code).
- The resident proves a single fact, such as residency, without sharing anything else.
- Every step lands on a receipt chain. Anyone in the room can check it at /api/health.
Where stablecoins fit
MIA's third pillar is Dollars. Fees, vendor payments and bond coupons could settle in seconds as regulated stablecoins issued by a licensed issuer; no issuer partnership is in place yet. You can try each flow in the App, see city bond settlement on Municipal Bonds, and pay-per-request data on x402.
What we won't claim
Miami-Dade County has not adopted, procured or endorsed MIA. Everything shown that evening ran in a sandbox with invented residents. UnyKorn is the technology operator and never holds public funds.
Questions worth asking
- Which county service would residents most want to prove or pay for from their phone?
- What would a 90-day pilot need to show a department before it goes further?
- Which records should stay off-chain entirely?
Earlier that day, Chairman Bowdre co-hosted The Founding Assembly downtown, and Sravan flew in to attend for FTH Trading.
