Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

In this Commentary, we show that blockchain may supplement antitrust law, especially in situations where the rule of law does not fully apply. Against this background, we detail what needs to be done for blockchain and antitrust to achieve greater decentralization, together, from both a technical and legal standpoint.
