Abstract:

This article examines blockchain as an enabling technological component for data management tasks that are independent of currency-related functionality, a less-discussed aspect of a technology commonly associated with cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance (DeFi). Drawing on empirical findings from the DIGI4ECO project as a case study, we present a structured literature review and cross-domain analysis of blockchain-based data management systems (BDMSs), examine a representative permissioned BDMS implementation, and synthesize practical design guidelines and implementation insights for BDMS development. This perspective is motivated by core blockchain properties such as immutability and transparency, as well as by the observation that existing resources for BDMS development, including methods, tools, and best practices, remain fragmented and less developed than those available for more mature technologies.


Keywords:

blockchain; blockchain-based data management systems; permissioned blockchains; blockchain architectures; hybrid storage; distributed data management
