The article deals with the issue of legislative regulation of digital ecosystems. In modern Russia, there are several large digital ecosystems that play a significant role in bringing a product to the end consumer, and therefore there is a need for legislative regulation of relevant relations.

The purpose of the work is to identify the directions and approximate content of legislative regulation of digital ecosystems. Research objectives: to identify the range of relationships those arise in the digital ecosystem; to identify the problems inherent in each group of relationships; to establish the position of the current legislation on the identified problems.

General scientific methods were used in the course of the study. In order to determine the subject composition of the digital ecosystem, logical methods of analysis and synthesis were used. Using a systematic method, groups of relationships that develop within the framework of digital ecosystems are established. Private law methods made it possible to identify gaps in legislation and determine the sufficiency of current regulation (the formal legal method), as well as to identify directions and optimal vectors of development of legislation for regulating digital ecosystems (the method of legal modeling).

According to the results of the study, six groups of relationships are identified, depending on the composition of the participants in the digital ecosystem. Each group identifies several main problems that require at least minimal legislative regulation. The vectors of the approximate content of this regulation are indicated. It is noted that some of these issues are typical not only for ecosystems, but also for services that are not. At the same time, there are problems that are relevant only for digital ecosystems. Therefore, the adoption of a single legislative act is impractical, and regulation should be integrated into existing regulations. Local regulations — the rules of digital platform operators — should be used more actively in regulation. At the same time, it is possible to develop uniform rules for the digital ecosystem.
