Abstract

Cet article examine les possibilités d'application d'une technologie de type blockchain au fonctionnement de monnaies complémentaires locales, en considérant deux types de protocoles de consensus : la preuve de travail et la preuve d'enjeu. Il s'attache en particulier à étudier leur application au contexte de digitalisation de ces monnaies. Une blockchain associée à une monnaie complémentaire locale se distingue profondément d'une blockchain associée à un cryptoactif : elle exclut tout usage spéculatif à la monnaie locale qui, contrairement aux cryptoactifs, a une parité fixe avec la monnaie légale et dispose d'un bassin de circulation restreint. Dans un tel cadre, une blockchain rend des services différents, elle a aussi des propriétés différentes. Le choix du protocole de consensus compte cependant, de même que le type d'incitation poussant les mineurs ou les validateurs à participer au réseau.
