Service provisioning is of paramount importance as we are now heading for a world of integrated services giving rise to the next generation of service ecosystems. The huge number of service offerings that will be available for customers in future scenarios require a novel approach to service registry and discovery that lets customers choose those offerings that best match their preferences. One way to achieve this is to introduce the provider's reputation, i.e., a quality indicator of the provisioned service, as an additional search criterion. Now, with blockchain technology in our hands, automated regulation of service-level agreements (SLAs) that capture the mutual agreements between all involved parties has regained momentum. In this article, we report our full-fledged work on the conception, design, and construction of a platform for SLA-minded service provisioning called PenChain. With our work, we demonstrate that penalty-aware SLAs of general services -if represented in a machine-readable logic and assisted by distributed ledger technology -are programmatically enforceable. We devise algorithms for ranking services in a search result taking into account the digitized values of the SLAs. We offer scenario-based evaluation of PenChain in the field of precision agriculture and the domain of automotive manufacturing. Furthermore, we examine the scalability and the data security of PenChain for precision agriculture.

“…With ISO/DTS 23259 35 , the ISO started a standards development on "Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies -Legally binding smart contracts", which has been deleted (currently having the status "deleted"). The notion of legally binding smart contracts reveals a fundamental problem: major technological changes usually need to team together with institutional changes [144], [145]. A legallybinding smart contract language cannot be contributed by merely technological measures.…”

Since its introduction with Bitcoin in 2009, blockchain technology has received tremendous attention by academia, industry, politics and media alike, in particular, through extended blockchain-based visions such as smart contracts, decentralized finance, and, most recently, Web3. The critical prerequisite for any such blockchain-based vision to be turned into reality is uncapped scalability. Furthermore, and equally important, blockchain technology needs to transcend the stage of specialized tokens into an adaptive, heterogeneous tokenization platform. In this paper, we explain the Alphabill family of technologies that addresses both unlimited scalability and unrestricted adaptivity. We deliver a sharded blockchain technology with unlimited scalability and performance, called KSI Cash, which is based on a new form of electronic money scheme, the bill scheme. We present performance tests of KSI Cash that we have conducted with the European Central Bank and a group of eight national central banks from the Eurosystem in order to assess the technological feasibility of a digital euro. We show the system operating with 100 million wallets and 15 thousand transactions per second (under simulation of realistic usage); having an estimated carbon footprint of 0.0001g CO2 per transaction (Bitcoin = 100 kg and more). Furthermore, we show the system operating with up to 2 million payment orders per second, an equivalent of more than 300,000 transactions per second (in a laboratory setting with the central components of KSI Cash), scaling linearly in terms of the number of deployed shards. We explain, in detail, the key concepts that unlock this performance (i.e., the concepts of the bill money scheme). The results provide evidence that the scalability of our technology is unlimited in both permissioned and permissionless scenarios, resulting into the Alphabill Money technology. Next, we contribute the architecture of a universal tokenization platform that allows for universal asset tokenization, transfer and exchange as a global medium of exchange, called Alphabill platform. We reveal the crucial conceptual and technical contributions of the platform's architecture and their interplay, including the data structures of KSI Cash and Alphabill Money, the dust collection solution of Alphabill Money, and the atomic swap solution of the Alphabill platform.
