This section houses our peer-reviewed research papers, methodological frameworks, and empirical analyses that underpin our work. Each publication has undergone rigorous scientific scrutiny and represents original contributions to the field. Our research spans theoretical foundations, quantitative methodologies, and applied case studies, offering both academic insights and practical implications for practitioners and policymakers.
This research establishes that the use of emerging decentralised public blockchain networks results in a shift in the approach to trust in transactions, with the following factors shaping trust in blockchain transactions identified and analysed: (a) technological, (b) economic, (c) political, (d) legal, and (e) socio-psychological. It was determined that the sources of trust in blockchain transactions have transformed, with new elements emerging: trust in technology, social trust, self-trust, and trust in ‘hidden’ intermediaries. These non-technological factors, analysed in more detail, can be both catalysts for trust in blockchain transactions, as well as barriers.
The final conclusions include a catalogue of political, legal and social actions that should be taken to increase trust in decentralised blockchaintransactions.

Will Tokenisation of the Economy Change the Foundations of Trust in Transactions
Regulatory sandboxes are assessed to uncover implementation issues of economic innovations, particularly blockchain, and their relevance to economics and management beyond legal perspectives. This analysis focuses on innovation projects from the Best Practice Report (I cohort) of the European Blockchain Regulatory Sandbox (2023/2024). It employs qualitative analysis using secondary data, including company websites and desk research.
The evaluation of 20 projects from cohort I indicates that monitoring blockchain innovations in regulatory sandboxes is crucial for economists and management specialists, not just legal experts. Key challenges identified include difficulties in fostering collaboration between public and private entities during project phases, communication barriers and trust issues due to diverse stakeholder teams, resistance to changes in innovation management practices among stakeholders, high implementation costs hindering progress, and challenges at the intersection of cyberspace and reality.
The analysis of the European Blockchain Regulatory Sandbox's initial findings provides valuable insights for future research on distributed ledger technology in business. Given the recent establishment of regulatory sandboxes globally, there is a need for comprehensive studies on their functions. Blockchain represents one of the most significant innovations of the 21st century, necessitating ongoing analysis.

Blockchain Sandboxes
The research raises several key questions: Can the economic influence of blockchain networks surpass the age-old tradition of state control over real estate transactions, rendering such control obsolete, or will legal oversight of real estate persist?
Alternatively, might we witness a hybridization of economic structures, where traditional real estate purchasing rules are enhanced with new network-based practices (such as blockchain and smart contracts)? Consequently, might traditional real estate institutions (like land and mortgage registers, notarial deeds) and new digital systems simply redistribute their roles in a novel manner?
In examining this issue, the author draws on token economics and sources from economic and legal history. To identify the values significant in real estate trading from ancient times to the present, he uses examples from economic history and compares them with blockchain and tokens. He suggests that it remains uncertain whether real estate tokenization will be a fleeting trend or dominate the market.
