Blockchain Governance Framework and Assessment Tools from a Readiness Perspective

Blockchain has been used in various sectors and use cases, but inadequate blockchain governance can cause failure in blockchain adoption. Previous research on blockchain governance has not been carried out with multiple perspectives and has not yet reached the point of developing governance assessment tools. This research aims to identify the factors that comprise blockchain governance, as well as identifying functional requirements of blockchain governance assessment tools. The methodology used in this research is literature review using PRISMA, thematic analysis, expert validation with fuzzy Delphi method. This research resulted in 25 factors and enhanced the STOPE framework by adding a collaboration dimension to develop a blockchain governance framework and 5 functional requirements for blockchain governance assessment tools. The 25 factors consist of 3 factors in strategy, 3 factors in technology, 4 factors in organization, 1 factor in the people, 4 factors in the environment, and 10 factors in the collaboration. This research identifies the factors that comprise blockchain governance and the functional requirements of blockchain governance assessment tools and provides a readiness-based blockchain governance initial framework, and functional requirements of blockchain governance assessment tools. This research also provides guidance for researchers, regulators, and practitioners in blockchain governance implementation and assessment.
