Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are challenging the way we perceive money. Offering new models for financial transactions, based on trust, and maintained through its open transactional database, currencies such as Bitcoin challenge the government-regulated fiat currencies that we currently use today. However, users of cryptocurrencies are beginning to realise that it is the underlying technology of the blockchain that is likely to have the most profound effect on how we understand money. The blockchain is an global open ledger that records and verifies transactions, whilst encrypting the identity of users changes entirely how value is accounted for. No longer are banks or governments the mediators of currencies, with the power to divest or invest to dictate the flow of value within society, the blockchain decentralises money and offers a platform for its creative use. Presenting money as code, users of the blockchain are starting to explore new opportunities for how values can be represented, as technologies such as the blockchain change the representation of value. This project will introduce the underlying principles of the blockchain to audiences that would otherwise not be consulted on the development of new currencies. Using a design-led and participatory approach, the research project will explore potential use cases for money as software through involvement with families, small businesses and local civic services. The research represents a significant contribution to contemporary debates around the emergence of new forms of value exchange and offers tangible outcomes for local, economic and academic communities.This 18 month project addresses directly the ESRC priority area: 'Economic performance and sustainable growth'. The innovative design of this research project, its relationship with actual high street environments and involvement of the New Economic Foundation and the Royal Bank of Scotland constitutes transformative research at the high risk, high reward end of the research spectrum.

比特币等加密货币正在挑战我们看待金钱的方式。比特币等货币提供了基于信任并通过其开放交易数据库维护的新金融交易模式，对我们目前使用的政府监管的法定货币提出了挑战。然而，加密货币的用户开始意识到，区块链的底层技术可能对我们如何理解金钱产生最深远的影响。区块链是一个全球开放分类账，用于记录和验证交易，同时加密用户身份完全改变了价值的计算方式。银行或政府不再是货币的调解者，拥有剥离或投资的权力来决定社会内的价值流动，区块链使货币去中心化，并为其创造性使用提供了一个平台。随着区块链等技术改变了价值的表示方式，将货币作为代码呈现，区块链的用户开始探索如何表示价值的新机会。该项目将向观众介绍区块链的基本原理，否则他们不会就新货币的开发进行咨询。该研究项目将采用设计主导和参与式的方法，通过家庭、小企业和当地市政服务的参与，探索货币作为软件的潜在用例。该研究对当代围绕新价值交换形式出现的争论做出了重大贡献，并为当地、经济和学术界提供了切实成果。这个为期 18 个月的项目直接涉及 ESRC 的优先领域：“经济绩效和可持续增长”。该研究项目的创新设计、其与实际商业街环境的关系以及新经济基金会和苏格兰皇家银行的参与构成了研究领域高风险、高回报的变革性研究。
