Blockchains are deconstructed into their building blocks. Each building block is then hierarchically classified into main and subcomponents. Then, varieties of the subcomponents are identified and compared. A taxonomy tree is used to summarise the study and provide a navigation tool across different blockchain architectural configurations.</p>}, journal={Ledger}, author={Tasca, Paolo and Tessone, Claudio J.}, year={2019}, month={Feb.} }
