Abstract

In the era of data, applying blockchain technology to electronic data storage has become an important judicial practice. However, it appears more in civil and administrative scenes, and the use in criminal activities remains in its infancy. The introduction of this technology into the field of criminal evidence can help cater to the trend of networked crime, cope with the difficulties in the application of electronic evidence, supplement judicial trust with technical trust, and solve the absence of rules in judicial practice, which reflects the values of efficiency, fairness, trust and demand. Specifically, in terms of criminal rules, the storage object of blockchain should be eight types of legal evidence, while the access nodes should not be unlimited. When making regulations on blockchain evidence, it is essential to combine objectivity, legality, authenticity and “the rule of best evidence” to determine its evidentiary capacity and withstand the tests of “the rule of relevance” and “the rule of corroboration” to ascertain its probative force. Finally, some measures should be taken to prevent the corresponding technical and legal risks.
