Abstract

The article analyzes the process of transformation of trust while digitalization. Interaction of people in the Internet became a reason of formation of a new digital environment of trust. A special role in this process is devoted to the technologies of distributed registers. The most famous of them is the blockchain technology. Blockchain provides technical opportunities for trust relations between unfamiliar remote partners, which are based on the transparency of transactions and the technical inability of changing them. The introduction of new digital technologies in all spheres of public life requires re-approaching of trust as multidisciplinary category. The authors conclude that such types of trust as interpersonal, generalized and institutional will remain in the digital society, but their forms of expression will change significantly, as they will be closely linked with the Internet.
