The Blockchain technology promises to revolutionize the administration and control of the productive chain, reducing waste and carbon footprint of the processes on which it is applied.

La tecnologia Blockchain promette di rivoluzionare il controllo e la gestione della catena produttiva, riducendo gli sprechi e l'impronta ecologica dei processi su cui viene applicata. Nonostante ciò, i principali sistemi che attualmente si basano su di essa - come ad esempio Ethereum per gli NFT - richiedono un consumo energetico talmente ampio da non risultare sostenibile nel futuro prossimo. L'obiettivo dell'elaborato è quindi quello di cercare un punto di convergenza tra le due facce della medaglia, fornendo una visione responsabile riguardo applicazioni future, che permetta di conciliare progresso tecnologico e sostenibilità economica e ambientale.

Abstract
The Blockchain technology promises to revolutionize the administration and control of the productive chain, reducing waste and carbon footprint of the processes on which it is applied. Nevertheless, the most relevant systems that are currently based on it - such as Ethereum for the NFT - require a huge energetic consumption, so that is does not seem to be sustainable in the future. The aim of this work is to find a point of contact between the two sides of the coin, presenting a responsible sight on possible future applications, that allows to conciliate technological progress with environmental and economic sustainability.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
