Particular attention is paid to the study of risks and limitations in the process of using distributed data storage technologies in the framework of dialectical analysis to study the question posed. The study is an attempt to systematize the effects considered for the economy as a result of the penetration of blockchain technologies into the socioeconomic environment, grouping them according to general features, in terms of the direction of impact. The main conclusion of the study is to substantiate the need to develop methodological approaches to a formalized assessment of risks and opportunities for the national economic system as part of the integration of the studied technologies into the ecological environment.
