Its functional qualities, such as the invariability of data, openness, transparency and cost-effectiveness, determine the interest in it from the state as well. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the possibilities and conditions for the effective use of blockchain technology in the public administration system. In addition, this paper describes the experience of using blockchain technology in certain sectors of the economy and public administration of Kazakhstan.The research methodology is based on a theoretical review, study and analysis of foreign and Kazakhstani experience in the implementation of pilot blockchain projects. To identify the factors of the internal and external environment that influence the development of blockchain technology in the public administration system, SWOT and PEST analyses are presented. In addition, selected regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan regulating digital technologies were studied. A sociological survey was carried out to define the possibility of introducing blockchain into the real estate registration sphere. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that there are both opportunities and the presence of factors that promote and hinder the introduction of this technology into the state administration of the Republic of Kazakhstan. At present, the blockchain industry is highly fragmented, mainly of a local nature, and if it is possible to implement it in the public administration system, it is accompanied by the complexity of technical implementation.}, annote = {In the last decade, there has been an increasing interest in blockchain technology around the world.
