SaNa: Journal of Blockchain, NFTs and Metaverse Technology is an interdisciplinary scholarly journal focusing on the development, application, evaluation, and societal implications of blockchain, decentralized digital technologies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), Web3 ecosystems, and metaverse technologies.
Primary technological and computational domains covered by the journal.
Blockchain architectures, distributed ledger technologies, protocols, consensus mechanisms, interoperability, scalability, performance, privacy, and blockchain security.
Cryptocurrency systems, digital assets, tokenization, decentralized transactions, cryptographic mechanisms, and technological infrastructures supporting digital economies.
NFT architectures, standards, platforms, ownership models, digital provenance, authentication, marketplaces, and applications in creative and digital industries.
Smart contract design, verification, security, decentralized applications, decentralized finance, and blockchain-based service ecosystems.
Web3 infrastructures, decentralized identity, decentralized storage, peer-to-peer systems, interoperability, governance, and emerging decentralized digital services.
Metaverse architectures, immersive digital environments, virtual worlds, digital identity, virtual assets, interoperability, and decentralized metaverse ecosystems.
Economic, governance, legal, and regulatory dimensions of decentralized technologies.
Token economics, incentive mechanisms, digital asset valuation, blockchain-based economic models, decentralized markets, and emerging digital business ecosystems.
Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), blockchain governance, voting mechanisms, community governance, and decentralized decision-making systems.
Legal and regulatory issues concerning blockchain, cryptocurrencies, digital assets, NFTs, smart contracts, decentralized platforms, Web3, and metaverse ecosystems.
Blockchain applications in financial systems, decentralized finance (DeFi), digital payments, asset tokenization, financial infrastructure, and related technological innovation.
Related technologies are within scope when they have a substantive connection to the journal's core research domains.
SaNa welcomes interdisciplinary research involving artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, cybersecurity, information systems, computer science, bioinformatics, and other computational technologies when these technologies are meaningfully integrated with blockchain, decentralized systems, digital assets, NFTs, Web3, or metaverse environments.
Relevant studies may include, for example, intelligent blockchain systems, AI-assisted smart contracts, machine learning for blockchain security and anomaly detection, decentralized AI, privacy-preserving computation, blockchain-enabled information systems, and intelligent or adaptive metaverse environments.
Application-oriented studies are welcomed when technological contribution and relevance to the journal's scope are clearly demonstrated.
Blockchain, NFTs, digital ownership, virtual assets, and metaverse applications in art, media, entertainment, gaming, and other creative industries.
Decentralized business models, blockchain-enabled commerce, digital marketplaces, tokenized ecosystems, and Web3-based business innovation.
Appropriate applications of blockchain and decentralized technologies in public services, identity management, education, healthcare, supply chains, communities, and other societal contexts.
Submissions should demonstrate a clear relationship with the journal's core scholarly focus.
Interdisciplinary manuscripts are encouraged; however, merely mentioning blockchain, cryptocurrency, NFTs, Web3, or the metaverse is not sufficient to establish relevance to the journal. The technology should form a substantive component of the research problem, methodology, system, analysis, application, or contribution.
Manuscripts focused primarily on general artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science, information systems, bioinformatics, economics, law, finance, gaming, or creative industries without a meaningful connection to the journal's core domains may be considered outside the scope of SaNa.
SaNa provides a scholarly platform for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and technology professionals investigating the development and convergence of decentralized digital technologies and their applications.
