This article studies one facet of “mundialisation”, exploring the role of European municipality projects as a sandbox for small and micro states’ technological innovation. Drawing from the exemplary case of Lugano’s Plan₿, it shows how blockchain technology can bring positive effects to local communities that can be harnessed by European small states’ policy. These solutions can turn their typical challenges into competitive advantages and opportunities not only transforming their financial infrastructure and fostering regional economic development but also enhancing international collaboration, community building, and social integration. New technology implementation shall therefore represent the social glue capable of reaching and further promoting Europe’s constituting aim of social peace among its partner countries; by merging the existing gaps and reducing current inequalities within and across European local communities.
