Blockchain as Social Innovation : How the technology behinds cryptocurrencies could support Transformation to Sustainability
This study addresses the need to understand the role of technology in transformation to sustainability, at the same time as evaluating the transformative capacity of the novel, yet under-researched blockchain technology. It relates to the need to evaluate what social innovations holds the greatest promise for sustainability transformation in the light of emerging environmental crisis. It is the first study of blockchain as a social innovation and identifies four mechanisms through which blockchain could support transformation to sustainability and proposes a lack to acknowledge ecological variables in the transformation process. These finding are useful for future studies of blockchain as a social innovation as well as for the development of transformation theory.
