Abstract: This literature review focuses on certain critical aspects of blockchain technology. Trust, (de)centralization and law are pivotal to the functioning of markets and society in general; blockchain promises to deeply transform both, and their correlated institutions. Technology and behaviors have a reciprocal influence. Results show several issues that must not be underestimated in order to develop the applications of the blockchain properly, and therefore reach shared benefits and avoid unintentional negative impacts at both micro (individual) and macro (societal) level.
