Abstract

This paper delves into the potential and practical challenges of blockchain in government governance. As a cutting-edge development in information and communication technology, blockchain offers unique capabilities in data management and value transfer, presenting new solutions for government governance. The article begins with an overview of the definition, connotation, and current application status of blockchain technology, and then constructs typical scenarios where blockchain technology empowers government governance, including electronic credentials, government data circulation, data resource sharing, collaborative office work, and digital rural revitalization. By realizing these scenarios, the paper analyzes the main problems and challenges faced by blockchain technology in government governance, such as inadequate infrastructure, data leakage risks, and difficulties in inter-departmental collaboration. Finally, a series of suggestions and prospects are put forward to promote the effective application of blockchain technology in digital government affairs, enhancing the transparency, efficiency, and intelligent level of government governance
