The Role and Responsibilities of Public Actors in Distributed Networks. Transparency, Trust and Legitimacy by Design
Start a new DMP in Loading
Governments are experimenting with the development and deployment of blockchain applications to improve their services. This might lead to complexity and uncertainty about government responsibilities and the optimal design of rules. The interdisciplinary project ‘Blockchain in the network society’ investigates how distributed technology (blockchain) combined with rule-based algorithms (smart contracts) affect rule of law values. More specifically, the CHAIN research team investigates through literature review and two case studies how transparency and accountability are operationalized in practice. Ultimately, CHAIN studies how these blockchain applications can be designed in a transparent and legitimate way, so that citizens can trust the government.
