This thesis proposes an analysis of the potential of local complementary currencies (hereafter local currencies) in addressing major problems concerning sustainability and technological innovation at the local level through different perspectives. The first chapter examines the application of an emerging technology, which is the blockchain, to...

This paper proposes a theoretical setting to analyze the possibility of implementing a blockchain governance to local complementary currencies. The local currency that we capture is used to promote objectives such as short distribution channels, high quality products, and sustainable behaviors at the local level. Its viability relies on the...

This paper examines, with the help of a theoretical setting, the properties of two blockchain consensus protocols, namely the Proof of Work (PoW) and the Proof of Stake (PoS) protocol in the management of a digital local complementary currency or a network of digital local currencies. The model includes a control (by the issuer of the currency)...

This paper examines the application of the blockchain technology to local complementary currencies through two consensus protocols: the Proof of Work (PoW) and the Proof of Stake (PoS). Given the increasing digitisation of local currencies, and the challenges affecting their management and operation, we analyse the potential of a technological...
