| Popis: | On a global scale blockchain is persistently proposed in thousands of use cases by corporates, governments, and academics. However, there is a lack of systematic evaluation of these use cases and the utility of blockchain. In this work we systematically evaluate fifteen use cases that use blockchain. Based on our evaluation we observe six recurring problems in these use cases. These problems either relate to the utility of blockchain in the use case, or to how well-documented a use case description is. We point out four red flags that, whenever they occur in a use case description, signal that blockchain may be a sub-optimal solution for that use case. Notably, one of these red flags indicates that there are no clear requirements in the use case descriptions that warrant the use of blockchain. We address this by proposing a set of requirement templates for any use case that includes a transaction system. |
