Abstract
This article explores the potential uses of blockchain technology in contemporary private law, with a particular focus on the Brazilian legal system. The author lists the main characteristics of blockchain, as an incremental, immutable, and reliable chain of blocks, and its potential to reconfigure private relationships. The study examines the various ways blockchain applies to the legal sphere (smart contracts, corporate deliberations, DAOs, IoT, IIoT, asset tokenization, evidence production, and arbitration), especially under Brazilian civil law. The methodology consists of a qualitative and analytical approach, based on a critical literature review and a legal-dogmatic analysis of texts relevant to the topic, highlighting Bambara and Allen (2018) for the technical foundations of blockchain among other specialized references concerning its legal applications. The article demonstrates blockchain's transformative potential, offering a new paradigm of legal certainty and decentralized trust, capable of impacting everything from contract theory to supranational corporate structures.
The blockchain could be the most consequential development in information technology since the Internet.

Yet, this approach may not promot...

It is concluded that blockchain redefines, rather than eliminates, the role of accountants and auditors, and that its consolidation will depend on regulatory progress, curricular updates, and further empirical evidence on its real-world implementation across diverse institutional contexts.
