Blockchain technology is transforming accounting and finance by providing transparency, traceability, and reliability of financial information. This research examines its potential in Algeria, focusing on the role of smart contracts in supporting startups. The objectives are to explore blockchain’s theoretical contributions, identify adoption areas such as banking, taxation, accounting, and auditing, and analyze benefits including fraud reduction, data security, and improved accountability. Findings suggest that smart contracts could simplify financial transactions, reduce costs, and increase trust for startups operating in a challenging business environment. However, major barriers persist, including regulatory uncertainty, weak digital infrastructure, high implementation costs, and limited expertise. The study concludes that blockchain adoption in Algeria should start with pilot projects, combining institutional reforms with targeted support for startups.
