Abstract

Blockchain technology is widely used to develop software systems in different industries such as finance, healthcare, supply chain management, data management, Internet of Things (IoT). To adopt blockchain, some critical challenges such as performance, interoperability, availability, security attacks, sustainability, and latency need to be taken into consideration. If the blockchain platform selected is not appropriate, the functionality and quality of the blockchain-based systems will be affected. Additionally, numerous blockchain platforms with unique properties and specifications are available in the market, and the task of selecting the right platform that best meets the project needs is getting complicated. It is crucial to define significant criteria that can help to shortlist the blockchain platforms for further comparison and selection using multicriteria decision-making methods. This research proposes a set of selection criteria that cover both features and quality attributes of the blockchain platforms. A survey was conducted to get the opinions of blockchain practitioners on the suitability of the selection criteria for the evaluation and selection of blockchain platforms.
