Blockchain technology is generating interest in novel applicative fields such as co-production of public services. Our CommonsHood project is a “wallet app” that uses the Blockchain as a tool to support sustainability of the local economy. Its tokenization mechanism allows everyone to create new types of cryptographic tokens on the Blockchain in order to digitalize assets, augment the availability of local liquidity, and incentivize cooperative socio-economic interactions. This article analyzes a concrete application of CommonsHood for innovating local development policies and service co-production in the tourism sector. We examine this application using Linders’s analytical framework for information and communications technology (ICT)-enabled co-production of services (2012). We show the advantages our project brings for local policies on tourism development, and we discuss the benefits and costs of using the Blockchain in that context. We argue that the observed case study covers different types of digitally enabled co-production of services, and that it can be defined as a case of Governance as a Platform. We also argue that well-established analytical frameworks for ICT-enabled co-production of services need to be expanded in order to account for the new affordances enabled by the Blockchain technology, namely the creation and transaction of digital values, which represent a paradigm change in how we understand the Internet and digital co-production.

用于当地社区社会经济互动的区块链工具

区块链技术正在引起人们对公共服务联合生产等新应用领域的兴趣。我们的 CommonsHood 项目是一个“钱包应用程序”,它使用区块链作为支持当地经济可持续性的工具。其代币化机制允许每个人在区块链上创建新型加密代币,以实现资产数字化、增加当地流动性的可用性并激励合作的社会经济互动。本文分析了 CommonsHood 在旅游部门创新地方发展政策和服务合作生产方面的具体应用。我们使用 Linders 的信息和通信技术 (ICT) 支持的服务联合生产分析框架(2012 年)来检查此应用程序。我们展示了我们的项目为当地旅游发展政策带来的优势,并讨论了在这种情况下使用区块链的好处和成本。我们认为,观察到的案例研究涵盖了不同类型的数字化服务联合生产,并且可以将其定义为平台治理的案例。我们还认为,需要扩展成熟的基于 ICT 的服务联合生产分析框架,以考虑区块链技术带来的新功能,即数字价值的创造和交易,这代表了范式的变化在我们如何理解互联网和数字联合制作方面。我们认为,观察到的案例研究涵盖了不同类型的数字化服务联合生产,并且可以将其定义为平台治理的案例。我们还认为,需要扩展成熟的基于 ICT 的服务联合生产分析框架,以考虑区块链技术带来的新功能,即数字价值的创造和交易,这代表了范式的变化在我们如何理解互联网和数字联合制作方面。我们认为,观察到的案例研究涵盖了不同类型的数字化服务联合生产,并且可以将其定义为平台治理的案例。我们还认为,需要扩展成熟的基于 ICT 的服务联合生产分析框架,以考虑区块链技术带来的新功能,即数字价值的创造和交易,这代表了范式的变化在我们如何理解互联网和数字联合制作方面。
