Yep they certainly do. I'm sure there are also some ethically sound blockchain implementations out there somewhere.

I'm skeptical. How?

You'd need a "proof of ethics" and that seems technologically dubious.

Or, you'd be using blockchain to create an ethical application, and whatever benefits are realized by the application are probably not best provided by blockchain.

Using computing to compute meaningful data is directly justified or at least directly measurable.
