Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is having an ever growing popularity. The first applications of DLT concern cryptocurrencies, but the DLT disruptive features enable several applications in many scenarios of interest both in research and business contexts. In particular, the possibility of executing Smart Contracts makes the DLT technology suitable to be adopted in a large number of application fields, being Internet of Things, Cyber Physical Systems, Edge Computing, and Supply Chain Management, only some examples. At the same time, the adoption of DLT opens new challenges in terms of privacy, security, scalability, sustainability and decentralization.
This workshop is a forum for researchers, developers, and users to discuss issues related to Distributed Ledger Technology and its adoption in research and business scenarios. The primary goal is to foster discussion and cross-fertilisation of ideas among experts in different fields related to DLTs, and thus advance the national and international state-of-the-art. Research, applications, case studies, and experiences concerning DLT are all encouraged with a special focus on the privacy and security issues.

News – Registration is now open!
News – Invited speaker – Dr. Ing. Stefan Schulte will hold an invited talk entitled: “Blockchain Interoperability: Current State and Future Trends“
Dr. Ing. Stefan Schulte is Full Professor at Hamburg University of Technology, head of the Institute for Data Engineering, and leads the Christian Doppler Laboratory Blockchain Technologies for the Internet of Things (CDL-BOT).
Abstract: “In recent years, blockchains and other distributed ledger technologies have gained much popularity both within industry and research. The widespread attention has led to manifold research and development activities. As a result, 100s of different protocols have been proposed and implemented, very often providing new functionalities. As a result, today’s blockchain landscape is heavily fragmented, with different, incompatible technologies being available to potential users. Since interoperability between different blockchains is usually not foreseen in existing protocols and standards, even simple functionalities like sending tokens from one participant to another, or invoking and executing smart contracts can only be carried out within a single blockchain.
Within this keynote, we will discuss the current state of the art in blockchain interoperability and have a look at future research trends in this field.”
