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.
The significance of the findings is that the meta-universe can become the basis for the development of new approaches to data exchange and transaction execution, ensuring greater transparency, efficiency, and reliability of processes. This could have a significant impact on politics, economy, and society as a whole. The use of the metaverse can foster innovative solutions, improve trust between parties, and reduce losses in the data exchange process. Thus, this article emphasises the importance of studying and applying the metaverse concept in the field of data exchange and contractual fulfilment. The results of the study confirm the potential of the metaverse as a tool for creating decentralised, secure, and efficient data exchange systems. Further research in this area can contribute to the development of new technologies and paradigms in the field of data exchange, which is of great importance for the development of society and its transformation into a more transparent, efficient, and fair system.
