When developing peer-to-peer applications on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), a crucial decision is the selection of a suitable DLT design (e.g., Ethereum) because it is hard to change the underlying DLT design post hoc. To facilitate the selection of suitable DLT designs, we review DLT characteristics and identify trade-offs between them. Furthermore, we assess how DLT designs account for these trade-offs and we develop archetypes for DLT designs that cater to specific quality requirements. The main purpose of our article is to introduce scientific and practical audiences to the intricacies of DLT designs and to support development of viable applications on DLT.

注意差距：分布式账本技术特征之间的权衡

在分布式账本技术 (DLT) 上开发点对点应用程序时，一个关键的决定是选择合适的 DLT 设计（例如，以太坊），因为很难事后更改底层的 DLT 设计。为了便于选择合适的 DLT 设计，我们审查 DLT 特性并确定它们之间的权衡。此外，我们评估了 DLT 设计如何考虑这些权衡，并为 DLT 设计开发了满足特定质量要求的原型。我们文章的主要目的是向科学和实用的读者介绍 DLT 设计的复杂性，并支持在 DLT 上开发可行的应用程序。
