Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for provisioning a remote unit via a smart contract in a blockchain network. One apparatus (300) includes a processor (305) and a transceiver (325), wherein the processor (305) controls the transceiver (325) to emit (905) a first event in response to receiving a first blockchain message from a first blockchain address and collect (910) a plurality of second blockchain messages. Here, the first event including information about a remote unit (105) and each second blockchain message containing a subscription offer for the remote unit. The transceiver (325) emits (915) a second event in response to receiving a third blockchain message from the first blockchain address. Here, the third blockchain message including user selection of one of the collected subscription offers. The transceiver (325) receives (920) a fourth blockchain message containing provisioning data for the remote unit (105) and emits (925) a third event after successfully validating the fourth blockchain message. Here, the third event comprising the provisioning data for the remote unit.
