Our researchers Irene Domenicale, Claudio Schifanella, and Cristina Viano have authored an article in the online magazine AgendaDigitale. In an accessible yet comprehensive manner, they explain how tokenized economies can bolster local communities.

Furthermore, smart contracts (software that automatically executes agreements upon meeting predefined conditions) allow these transactions to be programmed and automated across a global, decentralized computing platform.
