Abstract

The article discusses the practice of using blockchain technology in the distributed economy to improve the environmental sustainability of regions. The purpose of the study is to identify strengths and weaknesses, analyze the impact of environmental projects based on the use of blockchain technology on the sustainability of various regions of the world. A comparative analysis of open-source digital platforms that allow the distribution of environmental assets among users and ensure transparency of energy resource consumption is carried out. The conducted research allows us to form an idea about the current possibilities of using information technologies for the transformation of regional business processes.
