TY - JOUR ID - discovery10083476 VL - 4 AV - public A1 - Tasca, P A1 - Tessone, CJ SN - 2379-5980 Y1 - 2019/// UR - https://doi.org/10.5195/LEDGER.2019.140 N2 - A comparative study across the most widely known blockchain technologies is conducted with a bottom-up approach. Blockchains are deconstructed into their building blocks. Each building block is then hierarchically classified into main and subcomponents. Then, varieties of the subcomponents are identified and compared. A taxonomy tree is used to summarise the study and provide a navigation tool across different blockchain architectural configurations.
