Abstract

The process of dematerialization of local currencies and the rapid diffusion of the blockchain have generated a question: its application to local currencies. This article contributes to this reflexion. After having clarified what a blockchain really is, the advantages of its use and the illustration from concrete examples of its implementation, this research concludes that the adoption of such a technology would allow local currencies to gain security, confidence and options for the evolution of the project, even if its concrete implementation poses technical challenges.
