Distributed registers in digital economy: database, technology or protocol?

Currently there is no generally accepted interpretation and classification of distributed registers, which significantly impedes the development of scientific research of digital financial assets, hinders the process of their legitimization and integration into the financial sphere at the state and international levels, as well as complicates the regulation of social and economic processes, including Russia. The article presents an analysis of conceptual approaches to the definition of the «distributed register» as the basis of innovative financial and calculation instruments, proposes the authors' interpretation of this concept, systematized and supplemented the classification of distributed registers from the method of exchange, storage and processing of information based on a set of technologies

Keywords: distributed registry, digital financial asset, digital technology, digital system
