Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article analyzes the adoption of blockchain technology in Kazakhstan, focusing on its application in public administration, real estate registration, and the financial sector. The primary objective is to compare Kazakhstan’s progress with Poland's more developed blockchain landscape, identifying key challenges and opportunities. The research employs general scientific methods, including analysis, synthesis, and comparison, to evaluate the current regulatory framework in Kazakhstan. The study identifies several obstacles, such as the underdeveloped legal infrastructure, lack of technical expertise, and significant implementation costs. Despite these challenges, blockchain presents substantial potential to improve transparency and reduce fraud. The research highlights the need for legal reforms and international cooperation to support blockchain integration. The findings emphasize that Kazakhstan's digital transformation efforts can benefit significantly from Poland's adoption of best practices, particularly in establishing a supportive regulatory environment. The article concludes that while progress has been made, Kazakhstan must invest strategically in legal reforms and professional training to leverage blockchain’s potential in the coming years fully.
