Blockchain, DLT, and Fintech

Track Description
This track covers topics from Blockchain and distributed ledgers, both in the financial area and in other domains. Furthermore, we invite Fintech papers that are based on other technologies.

Blockchain technology has captured the imagination of businesses and individuals since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009. Whereas basic distributed ledger technology (DLT) can enable easy sharing and replication of data, the addition of a consensus protocol facilitates distributed management of digital rights, be it in the form of cryptocurrencies or other kinds of cryptoassets. Network actors maintain update and validate network transactions of tokens, ensuring against double-spending of any given asset. Some blockchain projects represent digital infrastructures onto which digital platforms can support the management of services, smart contracts etc. By design, a blockchain is virtually immutable and resists data modification. Despite originating as the foundational architecture for transferring cryptocurrencies in the likes of Bitcoin, the application of blockchain technology has since progressed beyond its original purpose. Blockchain technology can support a wealth of use-cases, spanning pure cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, a variety of FinTech innovations, and the tokenization of inter-organizational exchanges in consortia to optimize supply chains, logistics, global trade, internet of things, healthcare, energy, etc.

Innovations in technologies and governance arrangements have since the beginning introduced new innovations challenging existing arrangements, for example, algorithmic stablecoins, Central bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), and new architectures beyond blockchains optimizing operations through the application of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG). The largely unregulated arrangements in blockchain have also, over the years, led to some negative consequences, as demonstrated by recent developments, and the maturing of the financial application of DLTs is expected to be followed by further regulation.
