Methodological foundations of risk management in the implementation of crypto projects

The article is dedicated to clarifying the conceptual theoretical and methodological foundations of risk management in the implementation of crypto projects in business. The essence and specific features of a crypto project are identified, which, in the context of risk management, create a significant risk burden for all stakeholders. Given the broad spectrum of crypto project risks (as well as their dynamism and complexity), the need arises to improve procedures for their analysis, identification, management, and the implementation of measures to mitigate the impact of risk factors on the crypto project and its success. It is noted that the key interests of crypto projects for businesses include revenue, profit, customer acquisition, and cost optimization. The fundamentals of risk assessment for crypto projects are highlighted, both at the stage of attracting investors and during planning. A significant role is played by the creation of a transparent and fair system ensuring the viability of a crypto project, which is impossible without the development of technological infrastructure. A list of methods, tools, and approaches for improving risk management in the implementation of crypto projects is proposed, along with the specification of essential elements that ensure greater productivity of crypto projects. Based on the results of the study, a summary of the methodological foundations of risk management in crypto projects is provided, expanding theoretical perspectives on crypto projects and their risk management.
