Blockchain is currently considered as a key technology that can significantly reduce the level of transaction costs in the economy, reduce the level of economic and financial risks, and increase the efficiency of economy and financial sector.In this regard, it is relevant to study the possible trajectories of blockchain transformation under conditions when the state has not yet developed a universal model for blockchain integration into the economic system.The blockchain research method as a good is represented by economic sociodynamics, which studies the typology of goods and their transitions under the influence of interests that society presents to a particular product or service.The models of dynamics of social groups of M. Olsen and R. Putnam are also used.The endowment of blockchain with the features of a social good by the state shall not be accompanied by the deprivation of blockchain of the properties of a private good that can satisfy private, not just public interests.This will create conditions for increasing the share of Putnam's groups and reducing the share of Olsen's groups, which will increase the level of trust in society and stimulate the improvement of macroeconomic indicators, such as economic growth and increase in the GDP investment share.
