Review of research on blockchain application development method

Abstract

The blockchain technology is complex and involves a wide range of fields, which leads to the lack of uniform specifications for the development of blockchain applications. Although blockchain used to be divided according to the decentralized degree by some organizations, which are difficult to give developers specific guidance and results. To this end, this paper proposed a feature-oriented classification method of blockchain applications based on the analysis and comparison of current typical blockchain applications and frameworks, including digital currency blockchain, development platform blockchain, decentralized application and extended blockchain, helping developer create blockchain applications of a targeted manner and clarifying the functional architecture of different types of above various blockchain applications. Finally, the above classification method has been verified by the analysis of an extended blockchain.
