“…This implies that, if we can create, and implement detailed contracts or mechanisms that encompasses all situations, trust could be redundant. However, such purely technical systems are rare in the real world [13]. Thus, the Versatility of blockchain paves the way for strengthening trust.…”

“…[5], "trust-free systems" [6], "trust protocol" [7] and "decentralized trust system" [8]. Ironically, the trust-free property of blockchain has made trust even more important [10,13,14] and is challenging the development of the blockchain [15]. This is happening for the "first time in the history of humanity" [5, p.217], and for many, this groundbreaking paradigm shift can be daunting.…”

Characteristics of Blockchain and Its Relationship With Trust

Trust is a concept that lies amidst the rhetoric of empowering users by using blockchain. Bitcoin's eminence hyped as "trust-free," poignantly made trust an indispensable central element associated with the complexities and uncertainties of online transactions abound in the use and development of blockchainleaving many users unacquainted with its use. Studies that focus on assessing the trustworthiness of trustees using various characteristics are scarce. By mapping the characteristics that constitute the basis of the formation of trust from the viewpoint of the trustor, this study explored the characteristics of blockchain. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 individuals (aged 20-40 years, from technical and/or business prospects), using the blockchain. Three overlapping procedures; data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification, were used to identify categories and themes. The findings show that the characteristics of blockchain that influence trust are Reliability, Integrity, Tamper-proofing and Immutability, Versatility, Transparency, and Privacy. The Blockchain is a functionally versatile, tamper-proof, immutable, asset database on a decentralized network. Its reliable technical features, which ensure data integrity, and provide a transparent privacy protected environment, have meant that users are willing to trust it to generate value.

“…Trust in blockchain is a frequently addressed topic that extends along with the tensions of trust in institutions or the participants of a blockchain solution and trust in the blockchain code [41,42]. As in the other cases, compromises and mixed forms are possible; the propositions mentioned reflect the extreme forms [15,43,44]. Companies need to be aware of the tensions between these forms of trust and understand the consequences of paths between the different trust models [45].…”

Blockchain inherits tensions that depend on its infrastructure design as well as distinctive features of, among others, smart contracts and storage mechanisms. Studies propose coping strategies for companies that deal with blockchain-related tensions, but so far suggestions are characterized by context-and casespecificity. This paper proposes a meta-view on tensions arising from the implementation and usage of blockchain in organizational contexts. A structured literature review is conducted to condense existing insights from the literature to a meta-view on blockchain-related tension. A framework provides insights into different types of tensions. The framework has two aims: (1) providing a foundation to jointly build insights and IS theorization on blockchain tensions without being case-and context-sensitive. ( 2), it provides food for thought for companies that want to implement or use blockchain, which serves as first step toward developing recommendations that guide companies through identifying and managing tensions arising from blockchain implementation and usage.

“…Therefore, blockchain technologies in platform models [14] represent a unique opportunity to manage new enriched participatory processes organized by public institutions in a more effective and efficient manner [15]. Thus, the objective of this paper is to propose an e-Participation model that uses DLTs systems [16] [17] to implement a new tool to facilitate and empower citizen participation.…”

Highlights • A tokenizable e-Participation model will develop new local engagement. • Using a "democratic token" will help governments to overcome the governance deficit. • Building a BaaS neural network within a cloud framework is a scalable and sustainable solution. • A Neural Distributed Ledger (NDL) is a step beyond developing a 3D blockchain system. • A dApp called VoteKeeper uses Smart Contracts as a block producer in a virtual token. Abstract Currently, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) and, especially, Blockchain technology represent a great opportunity for public institutions to improve citizen participation and foster democratic innovation. These technologies facilitate the simplification of processes and provide secure management of recorded data, guaranteeing the transmission and public transparency of information. Based on the combination of a Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) platform and G-Cloud solutions, our proposal consists of the design of an e-Participation model that uses a tokenizable system of the actions and processes undertaken by citizens in participatory processes providing incentives to promote greater participation in public affairs. In order to develop a sustainable, scalable and resilient e-Participation system, a new blockchain concept, which organizes the blocks as a neural system, is combined with the implementation of a virtual token to reward participants. Furthermore, this virtual token is deployed through a smart contract that the block itself produces, containing information about the transaction and all the documents involved in the process. Finally, our Neural Distributed Ledger (NDL) framework facilitates the interconnection of blockchain networks in a transparent, certified, secure, auditable, scalable and traceable way.
