Abstract

The digital transformation of the education system, due to modern conditions for the development of socio-economic relations and information and communication technologies, involves a radical modernization of its information technology landscape through integration with end-to-end digital technologies. The main directions of the development of global integration processes in the field of education include the creation of a single educational space and the optimization of the interaction of participants in educational relations and stakeholders. One of the most promising technologies for solving these problems is blockchain technology. Harmonization of the conceptual principles of this technology and the existing educational infrastructure will provide a qualitatively new level of interaction based on information transparency, security and mutual trust and will serve as a driver for aggregating scientific and educational content and data on individual achievements of students on a single platform. The potential capabilities of the technology, on the one hand, and the insufficient level of research on the integration problem, along with the lack of blockchain projects implemented in the educational sector, on the other hand, determine the relevance of studying systematic applications of blockchain technology in various fields of education and preventing the uncertainties and risks.
