Abstract
Today, Estonia is a country with a highly developed digital infrastructure, where most important public services are available online. It is often claimed that one of the keys to success in the development of Estonian public e-services is the use of blockchain. This master's thesis examines in more detail the actual scope of blockchain use in Estonian public e-services. The research methods used were a systematic literature analysis, which resulted in a literature review, and interviews, which resulted in an overview of the actual use of blockchain in three Estonian public e-services. This research helps to better understand whether and how the blockchain is integrated into Estonian digital services and what is the added value of its use to the systems.
