Blockchain technology has gained traction in various sectors including finance and supply chain management. However, its application in Nigerian informal markets, particularly for youth entrepreneurship programmes, remains underexplored. A theoretical approach will be employed, drawing on existing literature and interviews with stakeholders involved in blockchain technology implementation within Nigerian informal markets. This theoretical framework underscores the potential of blockchain technology in fostering youth entrepreneurship within Nigeria's informal markets by providing robust frameworks for growth and market acceptance. Further empirical research should be conducted to validate these findings. Policymakers are encouraged to support initiatives that integrate blockchain technology into existing youth entrepreneurship programmes, thereby leveraging its benefits for socio-economic development.
