IEEE 2145-2023

This recommended practice provides a common nomenclature and framework for describing blockchain governance for solutions across different use cases and contexts, utilizing public/private, permissioned/permissionless, or hybrid blockchains.

The purpose of this document is to provide the terminology for describing, analyzing, and discussing blockchain governance across different blockchain protocols and systems, and to provide a framework and recommendations for creating blockchain governance design plan.

New IEEE Standard - Active. Provided in this standard is a common nomenclature and framework for describing blockchain governance across all use cases and contexts, including public, private, permissioned, permissionless, and hybrid. The standard is only normative regarding terminology. It is non-normative with respect to the design of particular blockchain protocols and systems. Where two terms are in common use for one concept, the standard shall define both terms and elaborate on any meaningful distinctions between them.
