English abstract

This report aims to explore blockchain technology and its potential in social, economic and artistic contexts, from its origin to the present days. Blockchain can be an important opportunity for those authors and artists with less visibility not only to stand out in a market dominated by industry monopolies but also to take an active part in distribution and monetisation of their work. In the context of disintermediation, blockchain’s allegedly wide potential promises to disrupt creative industries and the media industry in general.
