Blockchain, a Distributed Ledger Technology, is a disruptive and revolutionary technology that enables transacting data in a decentralized structure without the need for trusted central authorities. Many industries have taken steps to unleash the potential of blockchain technology, including the government sector, and early adopters are exploring the use of blockchain as one of the critical capabilities needed to create new business models and to radically transform government services and functions. However, despite this interest in adopting Blockchain technology, there is a lack of Blockchain frameworks or reference models/architecture that addresses government services in literature. In this paper, we propose a novel blockchain model that can be adopted by governments to establish government-led blockchain ecosystem for government services. The blockchain model is proposed based on the outcomes of our analysis of permissioned blockchain platform, and analysis of blockchain powered housing rentals use case that is being implemented by the Dubai Government. The proposed blockchain model outcomes includes a blockchain governance structure, participants and roles definition, and network architecture design which explains the deployment options and components. We also explain the model lifecycle and blockchain services, and we shed the light on the security and performance of the model. The study also includes exploring many blockchain use cases used by governments through proofs of concept or prototypes. Our analysis of Hyperledger Fabric design features shows the platform’s relevance to government services and use cases. The Hyperledger Fabric analysis also identifies the platform’s actors, services, processes and data structure of Hyperledger Fabric.

区块链是一种分布式账本技术，是一项颠覆性和革命性的技术，它可以在分散的结构中进行数据交易，而无需受信任的中央机构。许多行业已采取措施释放包括政府部门在内的区块链技术的潜力，早期采用者正在探索使用区块链作为创建新业务模型和从根本上转变政府服务和职能所需的关键能力之一。然而，尽管有兴趣采用区块链技术，但缺乏解决文献中政府服务的区块链框架或参考模型/架构。在本文中，我们提出了一种新颖的区块链模型，政府可以采用该模型来建立政府主导的政府服务区块链生态系统。根据我们对许可的区块链平台的分析结果以及迪拜政府正在实施的以区块链为动力的房屋租赁用例的分析结果，提出了区块链模型。拟议的区块链模型结果包括区块链治理结构，参与者和角色定义以及说明部署选项和组件的网络架构设计。我们还解释了模型的生命周期和区块链服务，并阐明了模型的安全性和性能。该研究还包括通过概念或原型证明探索政府使用的许多区块链用例。我们对Hyperledger Fabric设计功能的分析显示了该平台与政府服务和用例的相关性。
