Summary: | Due to the transparency and distributed ledger technology that blockchain can provide, large-scale information collection and sharing becomes possible. In traditional joint lawsuits, regardless of the area of law involved, there is the problem of how to collect the consequences of damages and how to distribute them to large groups of people. Blockchain offers possible solutions to this problem. The open and transparent recording capability on the blockchain and the automatic execution capability of smart contracts can significantly improve the efficiency of traditional joint action. The essence of blockchain-enabled joint action is the integration of disadvantaged individuals into one large individual with a relatively unified mind and will to improve the position of the disadvantaged. Blockchain’s ability therefore effectively creates a decentralisation in joint action, i.e., the aggregation of a large number of dispersed individuals into a collective legal will. Blockchain can help to erase the status differences in traditional joint action.
