Blockchain and FinTech: The development, application and
implication of blockchain track
CALL FOR PAPERS ECIS’2022
30th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2022) June
18 - 24, 2022
Timisoara, Romania

Call for Contributions
FinTech, which refers to the use of novel technologies, such as
blockchain and Artificial Intelligence, to design, deliver and
optimize financial services, refers to a broad variety of
technological interventions within digital finance. Such
technological interventions can be applied within 1) private
finance such as P2P payment platforms, money remittances, saving
accounts, P2P lending platforms, alternative credit scoring, 2)
commercial finance such as crowdfunding, WealthTech, PropTech,
security trading without human intervention, and 3) operational
backbone of traditional financial institutions such as clearing
and settlement.
Blockchain/DLT technologies challenge prevailing myths concerning
supremacy of centralised computing architectures and offer new
opportunities for developing radically new digital financial
services. At the same time, the new technology architecture has
been criticized as being ‘unnecessary’ or ‘unfit’ to deal with
real issues in finance and beyond. Blockchain-based applications
in the financial service area include, for example,
cryptocurrencies, cross-border payments, underlying blockchain
technology architecture (DLT, including Ethereum), smart
contracts, and others.
TOPICS
Topics for this track include, but are not limited to the
following:
* Novel approaches to development of blockchain applications
* Blockchain and other open platform technologies, such as
Ethereum, Hyperledger and Corda
* Blockchain platform governance and standards

Peer-to-Peer Lending)
