摘      要：Recently there has been a burst of interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies, which blends computer science, finance and business in unprecedented ways. Multiple computer science areas, including cryptography, distributed systems, programming languages, game theory, and system security techniques, are involved and today＇s blockchain and cryptocurrency systems still face security, availability, scalability and performance issues. This special section is an effort to encourage and promote research on this area from the computer architecture and software perspective.
