An Implementation Framework for a Blockchain Based Trial Tax

Abstract

Blockchain technology represents one of the most promising introductions in the technological scenario. Despite the growing interest from both the general public and the scientific community in this regard, there is a lack of strategies capable of guiding, under a technical and managerial perspective, the introduction of blockchain technology within existing business processes. Inspired by the main software engineering methodologies, which currently do not include specific techniques to coexist with blockchain paradigm, in this article, we propose an innovative blockchain implementation framework, which provides for a series of tools and strategies able to exploit the benefits arising from its integration within public administration business models while reducing related risks of introduction. In order to assess the framework operational effectiveness, we also test its application in the development of a blockchain based system allowing the conduct of telematic trial tax in order to make its execution safer, faster and cheaper.
