From Institutional Trust to Algorithmic Trust

Comparison of the traditional model and the blockchain-based model:

Trust the bank	Verify on the network
Trust the notary	Verify the digital signature
Trust the authority	Verify the hash
Trust the custodian	Control your private key

This change represents a redefinition of the social contract, where validation ceases to be vertical and becomes distributed.

Deep Institutional Implications

For professionals in law, engineering, politics, or economics, this poses new scenarios of responsibility, legitimacy, and auditing. Society can evolve toward:

· Personal data sovereignty.

· Institutions verifiable through code.

· Structural transparency.

· New forms of automated trust.
