Blockchain is a radical innovation with a unique value proposition that shifts trust from institutions to algorithms. Still, the potential of blockchains remains elusive due to knowledge gaps between computer science research and socio-economic research. Building on information technology governance literature and the theory of coevolution, this study develops a process model for blockchain configurations that captures blockchain capability dimensions and application areas. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed blockchain configuration process model on four blockchain projects. The proposed blockchain configuration process model assists with the selection and configuration of blockchain systems based on a set of known requirements for a blockchain project. Our findings contribute to research by bridging knowledge gaps between computer science and socio-economic research on blockchain. Specifically, we explore existing blockchain concepts and integrate them in a process model for blockchain configurations.

管理区块链系统和应用程序：区块链配置的流程模型

区块链是一项具有独特价值主张的根本性创新，它将信任从机构转移到算法。尽管如此，由于计算机科学研究与社会经济研究之间的知识鸿沟，区块链的潜力仍然难以捉摸。基于信息技术治理文献和协同进化理论，本研究开发了一种用于区块链配置的过程模型，该模型捕获了区块链能力的维度和应用领域。我们演示了提出的区块链配置过程模型在四个区块链项目上的适用性。提出的区块链配置过程模型可基于一系列已知的区块链项目要求，协助选择和配置区块链系统。我们的发现通过弥合计算机科学与区块链社会经济研究之间的知识鸿沟为研究做出了贡献。具体来说，我们探索现有的区块链概念，并将其集成到用于区块链配置的流程模型中。
