Published: March 30, 2022

Blockchain technology has been heralded as a game changer for addressing severe environmental and economic sustainability challenges. In response to rising concerns, blockchain (BCT) is transforming green innovation, culminating in practices well-established business models. Recognizing this, we investigated the role of innovation its impact on sustainability, which an sustainability. Moreover, 184 small- medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were surveyed Lima, Peru. Data this cross-sectional study gathered using stratified random sampling. The positivist approach was implemented statistical induction method. Prior studies' research constructs measured validated measurement scales. For quantitative data analysis, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) framework, provided two key findings. First, orientation attitude have positive significant effect adoption that employs energy (solar) towards sustainable economy. Second, intention use mediates relationship between social perception with We recommend embrace protect environment boost community cohesiveness.
