Journal: MDPI Smart Cities

Topic: Blockchain/DLT: Opportunities, Challenges and Solutions for Smart Cities

Dear Colleagues, Blockchain and other trustless systems have turned into mainstream phenomena that are seen as powerful game-changers for many industries. The characteristics of blockchain and DLTs (distributed ledger technologies), such as immutability, security, and programmability, offer numerous opportunities for creating solutions that enable and foster the development of smart cities. Examples include, but are not limited to, the application of smart contracts to facilitate transactions, the creation of novel services and applications, the deployment of innovative security and privacy solutions, as well as the reorganization of the public sector (e.g., governmental spending transparency).

For this Special Issue, we invite papers that describe and explore the application of blockchain and related technologies in smart cities. Furthermore, we are interested in empirical research that explains the implications of blockchain in this context. We will publish papers that clearly outline how those technologies have been applied; what the rationale for their application was and, finally, what the outcome was.
