The Impact of Blockchain-Enabled Transparency, Security, and Decentralization as a Driver of Knowledge-Sharing Within Digital Governance Frameworks in Higher Education
摘要
This study investigates how blockchain technology can be leveraged to address challenges associated with digital transformation, with the aim of enhancing knowledge sharing in higher education. It focuses on six core features of blockchain—transparency, security, decentralization, immutability, traceability, and smart contracts—and outlines their potential to support trust-building, streamline verification processes, and improve incentive alignment. The study positions blockchain as a trusted knowledge infrastructure that offers not only functional improvements but also a structural framework for rethinking how institutions coordinate and govern knowledge. The paper highlights blockchain’s potential to provide long-term structural solutions to persistent problems in knowledge governance, offering both theoretical foundations and practical implications for advancing digital systems in higher education.
