It is necessary to transform the social economy through digital technology while also paying attention to the changes in Social Trust (ST) caused by the quality of human education and the impact on human society and economic development. Based on the ST mechanism of blockchain, this paper explores the impact of blockchain on the market scale by taking the scale of market investment and financing as the mapping index. Based on the influence of education level on ST, the development trend of personal education level on ST and trust recognition are investigated by questionnaire survey. The research results show that blockchain’s market size and growth rate still show a rapid growth trend. The use of Blockchain Technology (BT) has increased the trust of traditional society by 47.13%. The ST degree of university education level is between 2.85~3.85. The standard deviation of doctoral ST is the largest. The influence coefficient of university education level on ST is above 0.1 due to the influence of the respondent by the “second type of education” of society, which has a significant impact on ST. The level of education in primary, secondary, and vocational schools does not affect ST, and an increase in the level of education will correspondingly increase the level of ST. This paper analyzes the impact of blockchain and education level on the ST mechanism and promotes the development of BT platforms and operating systems. This paper builds a common trust social relationship platform based on blockchain and next-generation information technology for the current information technology stage to enter a new stage of the digital economy and ST.
