Support for the Authorized Digital Seller protocol also known as ads.txt, has been launched for Blogspot/Blogspot blogs. So, you can now manually set up the content of the ads.txt file via Blogger settings without the need of uploading any file to Blogger’s root directory, which doesn’t exists.
If your blog is not monetized, or it’s only configured to use AdSense using the Blogger-AdSense integration, then you do not need to manually set up ads.txt. Blogger will do this for you.
If your blog is monetized with third-party providers or you’ve manually integrated AdSense in your Blogger blog, you will need to manually set up the content of the ads.txt file.

What is Ads.Txt
Authorized Digital Sellers, or ads.txt is an IAB initiative that helps ensure that your digital ad inventory is only sold through sellers (such as AdSense) who you’ve identified as authorized. Creating your own ads.txt file gives you more control over who’s allowed to sell ads on your site and helps prevent counterfeit inventory from being presented to advertisers.
Each line in a publisher’s ads.txt list requires three pieces of data (plus a fourth optional field).
