EXPLORING BLOCKCHAIN POTENTIAL IN UZBEKISTAN: A REVIEW
Main Article Content
Abstract
Blockchain technology, known for its decentralized and tamper-proof architecture, is rapidly transforming sectors such as finance, governance, and education worldwide. This review explores the global evolution and application of blockchain systems, with a special focus on their potential for Uzbekistan’s digital development. Drawing on international case studies and emerging technologies, the paper analyzes how blockchain can address challenges in transparency, data integrity, public services, and trust in digital ecosystems. Key considerations include implementation barriers, regulatory readiness, and infrastructure requirements. The study aims to provide a strategic overview for policymakers, technologists, and educators seeking to leverage blockchain innovations in the Uzbek context.
