The first applications of DLT concern cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, etc.), but the DLT disruptive features enable several applications in many scenarios of interest both in research and business contexts. In particular, the possibility of executing Smart Contracts makes the DLT technology suitable to be adopted in a large number of application fields, being Internet of Things, Cyber Physical Systems, Edge Computing, Supply Chain Management, and Business Process Management, only some examples. At the same time, the adoption of DLT opens new challenges in terms of privacy, security, scalability, sustainability and decentralization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This workshop is a forum for researchers, developers, and users to discuss issues related to Distributed Ledger Technology and its adoption in research and business scenarios. The primary goal is to foster discussion and cross-fertilisation of ideas among experts in different fields related to DLTs, and thus advance the national and international state-of-the-art. Research, applications, case studies, and experiences concerning DLT are all encouraged with a special focus on the privacy and security issues. The topics of interest of the workshop includes (but are not limited to):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blockchain foundations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consensus protocols<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cryptography for blockchains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Privacy and anonymity on blockchains and their applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attacks to\/through smart contracts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Formal verification of blockchain protocols and smart contracts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scalability of blockchains and their applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightweight protocols based on blockchains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smart contracts and their applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smart contract languages (Solidity, Rust, Move, \u2026)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decentralized finance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decentralized identity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transactions analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Energy consumption issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applications of blockchain technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decentralization and governance in DLT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-fungible tokens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cross-chain interoperability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Game theory and blockchains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decentralized physical infrastructure network<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security and auditing tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blockchain for AI and AI for Blockchain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regulatory compliance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Submission guidelines <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contribution types<\/strong><br>The workshop accepts four kinds of contributions:<br>1) <em>Regular research papers<\/em> (10-15 pages, excluding references and appendices; included in the proceedings)<br>They must present original research results, i.e., results that have not been previously published and are not under concurrent submission to conferences or workshops with proceedings, nor to journals; research results in the form of Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers are also welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) <em>Short research papers<\/em> (4-8 pages, excluding references, no appendices allowed; included in the proceedings)<br>They must present original research results; research results in the form of position papers are also welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) <em>PhD student reports<\/em> (4-8 pages, excluding references and appendices; not included in the proceedings)<br>They allow doctoral students to describe their research topic, any results already achieved, and the plan for future research activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4)<em> Oral communications<\/em> (1-2 pages, extended abstract only; not included in the proceedings)<br>They allow authors to present work in progress, already published results, or opinion papers on the current state of the art and future research directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Participation Requirements<\/strong><br>All accepted contributions require a presentation at the workshop. Therefore, at least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the workshop in person to give the presentation. Remote presentations will not be allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Proceedings<\/strong><br>All accepted regular and short papers will be included in the workshop (post-)proceedings, which will be published on CEUR-WS.

In case of acceptance, authors must register for the workshop by March 31, 2026, , and are strongly suggested to book the room by this deadline to access the high discount the organizers have obtained with the hosting structure.<br>Oral communications and PhD student reports will have a light review process. The notification will consist of a short statement motivating acceptance or rejection for oral communications, and constructive feedback for PhD student reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The submission process for <strong>regular and short papers<\/strong> follows a <strong>two-stage procedure:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stage 1 &#8211; Extended Abstract Submission<br>Authors must submit the extended abstract (1-2 pages) by the Extended Abstract Submission deadline.
