The article explores the concept of smart villages, emphasising the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT), blockchain, and decentralised autonomous organisations (DAO) to improve sustainable management in rural communes. It highlights blockchain's role in decentralisation and process automation via smart contracts, offering benefits like improved transparency and reduced administrative costs. A hybrid approach that merges these technologies with traditional methods is recommended to optimise management while valuing human capital. This approach also requires investments in infrastructure, education, and legal adjustments to facilitate integration. A case study of the Pałecznica commune illustrates the successful implementation of a modern energy security management system that can be integrated with blockchain technology. Ultimately, the hybrid model ensures an effective transformation of public administration, increasing transparency, efficiency, and sustainable development in smart villages, as well as improving security in energy management.
