Abstract
Blockchain technology emerged in 2008 with the introduction of its first application: a digital distributed payment system known as the Bitcoin network.1 At that time, blockchain was a groundbreaking innovation that ingeniously combined existing technologies and features such as encryption, distributed computing, and digital signatures. Initially aimed at transforming the financial sector, the technology faced skepticism, partly due to the mystery surrounding Bitcoin’s creator.
