Секторальні моделі застосування блокчейн-технологій в ЄС

Sectoral models of blockchain-technology application in the EU

Анотація: Блокчейн-технологія швидко стає наріжним каменем цифрової економіки ЄС, забезпечуючи безпеку, транспарентність та ефективних цифрових транзакцій, зменшуючи залежність від посередників, зміцнюючи цілісність даних та трансформуючи усталені бізнес-практики в управлінні ланцюгами поставок, системах цифрової ідентифікації та фінансовому секторі. Дослідження сучасних секторальних моделей застосування блокчейну в економіці ЄС є критично важливим, оскільки це дозволяє ідентифікувати, які саме галузі можуть отримати найбільший економічний ефект від упровадження та масштабування цієї технології, а також виявити унікальні виклики та можливості для кожного сектору.
Методика дослідження базується на контент-аналізі моделей застосування блокчейн-технологій у різних секторах економіки Європейського Союзу, передбачаючи, насамперед систематизацію та узагальнення існуючих моделей, дослідження їх спільних та відмінних характеристик, компаративний аналіз секторальних кейсів успішного впровадження технології блокчейну, а також ідентифікацію її універсальних переваг. Метою статті є дослідження та систематизація секторальних моделей застосування блокчейн-технологій в Європейському Союзі.
Розширення застосування блокчейн-технологій за межі фінансового сектору у таких галузях, як сільське господарство, енергетика, промисловість, медіа, операції з нерухомістю, охорона здоровʼя тощо демонструє його універсальність як фундаментальної технології для забезпечення цілісності даних у різних економічних секторах. Технологічні особливості блокчейну (незмінність, прозорість, децентралізація) віднайшли своє застосування там, де критично важливим є забезпечення прозорого обліку даних та взаємної довіри контрагентів у системі багатостороннього економічного співробітництва.
Abstract: Blockchain technology is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of the EUʼs digital economy, ensuring secure, transparent, and efficient digital transactions. It reduces reliance on intermediaries, strengthens data integrity, and transforms established business practices in supply chain management, digital identity systems, and the financial sector. Research into current sectoral models of blockchain application in the EU economy is critically important, as it allows for the identification of specific industries, which can gain the greatest economic benefit from the implementation and scaling of this technology. It also helps to reveal the unique challenges and opportunities for each sector.
The research methodology is based on a content analysis of blockchain technology application models across various sectors of the European Unionʼs economy. This primarily involves the systematization and generalization of existing models, an examination of their common and distinctive characteristics, a comparative analysis of sectoral cases of successful blockchain implementation, and the identification of its universal advantages. The purpose of this article is to investigate and systematize the sectoral models of blockchain technology application in the European Union.
The expansion of blockchain technology beyond the financial sector into fields such as agriculture, energy, industry, media, real estate, and healthcare demonstrates its universality as a fundamental technology for ensuring data integrity across various economic sectors. The technological features of blockchain (immutability, transparency, decentralization) have found their application wherever it is critical to ensure transparent data accounting and mutual trust among parties in a system of multilateral economic cooperation.
