Abstract

This article explores the Blockchain technology role in the creation and functioning of the meta-universe. This concept reflects a new approach to data exchange and transaction execution that combines decentralisation, security, and immutability through Blockchain technology and smart contracts. The article analyses the theoretical basis for the functioning of the metaverse, including its philosophical foundations and moral and ethical aspects. Various organisational forms and features of the metaverse infrastructure are considered, as well as its interaction with Blockchain technology. The study is based on a comprehensive analysis of scientific literature, legislative and regulatory acts, as well as the use of specific tools, including data visualisation and analysis methods. The findings emphasise the importance of Blockchain technology in creating the metaverse and its various applications. They demonstrate the metaverse potential in ensuring decentralisation, security, transparency, and speed of data exchange and transaction execution. The research is of great theoretical importance as it expands our understanding of the meta-universe and the role of Blockchain technology in its functioning. The practical significance lies in the fact that the conclusions and recommendations of the study can be used to develop the development of new approaches to data exchange and transaction execution.
