Intro – people and systems
Blockchain – hype or not?
Research method - DSR
Key concepts
• Blockchain technologie
• Blockchain system
• Blockchain system type
• Blockchain system functional characteristics
• Blockchain system subtype
• Blockchan system non functional characteristics
• Blockchain system application area
• Governance of blockchan systems
Definitions
• Blockchain subtype
• Variables:
• Publicly accesible, permissionless, public blockchain, public blockchain or ledger
• Permissioned blockchain, private, private blockchain, closed system, permissioned
(closed)
• Off-chain

• Definition
• The blockchain subtypes depends on authorities. If no intermediary is involved, and the
transactions are approved by a protocol in the chain, it is called public. If an intermediary
is involved, and the transactions are approved by a central party it is called private or
hybrid.
Blockchain system non functional characteristics
• No trusted intermediary, trust/control, do need to trust, don’t trust
• Resilience, persistency, confidence, consensus, protocol, safe and
secure, do not have a single point of failure
• Tampering and revision, performance, write only (immutable)
• Finality, provenance, integrity, changes are visible by all parties and
can easily test whether a new transaction is consistent with the
existing transactions
• Publicly accessible records, disintermediary, openness, transparent,
blockchain application
• Definition for blockchain system non functional characteristics

• A democratising technology of a blockchain based system needs integrity of

data. The validity of the data is guaranteed by transparency of the process
and the irreversibility and immutability of the transactions. Consensus is
realised by protocol. This process is important for trust across the value chain.

systems within time and within the budget
