设计和HCI研究人员越来越多地使用复杂的数字基础设施，如加密货币，分布式账本和智能合约。这些技术将对数字系统及其受众产生深远的影响。然而，鉴于其紧急性质和技术复杂性，让非专业人员参与设计采用这些技术的应用程序是具有挑战性的。在本文中，我们讨论了这些挑战，并提出了GeoCoin，这是一个基于位置的平台，用于智能合约的嵌入式学习和投机性思维。在与GeoCoin的合作研讨会上，参与者参与了基于位置的智能合约，使用该平台探索城市中的数字“借记”和“信用”区域。这些实践导致了各种分布式账本应用程序的设计，用于时间有限的金融联盟，参与式预算编制和人道主义援助。这些结果通过展示体验式原型如何支持对新数字基础设施背后复杂性的理解，并促进参与者参与构思和设计过程，为HCI社区做出了贡献。
Design and HCI researchers are increasingly working with complex digital infrastructures, such as cryptocurrencies, distributed ledgers and smart contracts. These technologies will have a profound impact on digital systems and their audiences. However, given their emergent nature and technical complexity, involving non-specialists in the design of applications that employ these technologies is challenging. In this paper, we discuss these challenges and present GeoCoin, a location-based platform for embodied learning and speculative ideating with smart contracts. In collaborative workshops with GeoCoin, participants engaged with location-based smart contracts, using the platform to explore digital 'debit' and 'credit' zones in the city. These exercises led to the design of diverse distributed-ledger applications, for time-limited financial unions, participatory budgeting, and humanitarian aid. These results contribute to the HCI community by demonstrating how an experiential prototype can support understanding of the complexities behind new digital infrastructures and facilitate participant engagement in ideation and design processes.
