The modern economy is gradually developing and shifting into a virtual economic system. The new digital economy serves as the new model of economic development and redesigns businesses based on utilizing information in b2b relationships. New information and network technologies are becoming significant factors of a globalizing economy and contribute to the rapid transition of the economy from a real economy bound by boundaries to a network one connected by the internet, ensuring digital economy development and innovative business process formation. With the blockchain technology coming into play, the digital economy is set to take a step forward in globalizing the economy. This research explores how the blockchain technology has transformed the digital economy and how this technology can be exploited to make the digital economy an extra mile.

From barter system trading, to paper currency and now to digital economy, the global economy has come a long way. With enhanced technology, the digitization has spurred the communication between people. People can interact with each other, and thus, the effect is quickly observed in the economy. The country-to-country enhanced communication has sped up the economic activity. The countries are using the digitized technology the make their countries prosperous for the business environment. Seeing all of this, the countries are slowly adapting the digitalized technology. The impact created by the digitalized economy has been felt greatly by the firms and overall economy.

The web, cell phones, and related innovations that encourage the accumulation, stockpiling, examination and sharing of information and data are changing numerous parts of life among an enormous what’s more, developing a portion of the total populace. Advanced advances with automation make data progressively accessible at all levels and purposes of the monetary procedure. This decreases exchange costs, encourages increasingly unpredictable hierarchical structures, grows to advertise openings and makes area progressively insignificant. These computerized advancements have been spreading quickly. By estimating economy-wide benefits, automation of different things for better benefits and outcomes is getting necessary day by day. Conventional theories are being updated through technology to save time and money both in an effective way. This research examines the development and impact of digital technology on various sectors of the digital economy. In particular, the study analysed the impact of digitalization of agriculture on the digital economy.

The results of the analysis of the theory and practice of leaching metals from substandard raw materials are presented. A brief historical reference is given on the leaching of metals from experimental leaching in the middle of the last century to industrial development in modern times. The direction of combining traditional and innovative technologies within a single technological process is formulated. The mechanism of underground block leaching of ores is described. A complex method of multi-factorial assessment of the existing natural and man-made factors of development is proposed. The parameters of the proposed technology and some aspects of its application are substantiated. Using the method of engineering forecasting, the prospects for leaching metals from substandard raw materials are assessed. The main results of the development of underground leaching of metals from sub-standard raw materials and the prospects for improving the method with the rational combination of underground leaching technologies with traditional mining technologies are formulated. It is concluded that the leaching of metals from substandard raw materials has prospects for development.
