metadata.value: From the beginning, blockchain was recognized as significant enhancement of opportunities
  for interaction through the Internet. Together with smart-contracts, which are an inevitable furtherance of this technology, blockchain allows activities in the Internet to not depend on state
  support, particularly legal. Consequently, many well-known means for implementing this technology resulted in a surge of anxiety from states. The realization of relations entirely with the
  framework of cyberspace, often without some manifestation in the material world, with universal access of objects of these relations thanks to the Internet, raise a series of interesting
  difficult questions which arose earlier, but remained unresolved. This paper focuses on the development of international law norms with specific attention given to the articulation of issues
  and their affordable solutions. In this regard, in connection with the main topic, the author also
  discusses the interrelationship between international public and international private law, the
  concept of property with regard to discussions around the legal nature of “digital objects”, the
  principles of choice of the law applicable, and a number of other general doctrinal problems as
  they relate to the realities of the relations arising in “virtual reality”. The article presents a legal
  analysis of the issues emerging from the application of information technologies, such as the
  principles of technological neutrality, the autonomy of the Internet cyberspace, the problems of
  localization of Internet activity, and restrictions of such activities of sites’ owners as a restricting in relation to their domicile jurisdiction. The concept of targeting foreign Internet users and
  the approaches to “nationalization” of Internet activities is also elaborated upon. The author
  describes the structure of various legal relations arising from the use of the Internet and makes
  comments on the preferable legal policy in this area. Significant attention is given to the problems of ownership of mining capacities, and the consequences of their concentration in the
  hands of individual actors on the Internet.
