Abstract

After the Ethereum DAO attack in 2016, which resulted in significant economic losses, blockchain governance has become a prominent research area. However, there is a lack of comprehensive and systematic literature review on blockchain governance. To deeply understand the process of blockchain governance and provide guidance for the future design of the blockchain governance model, we provide an in-depth review of blockchain governance. In this paper, first we introduce the consensus algorithms currently used in blockchain and relate them to governance theory. Second, we present the main content of off-chain governance and investigate two well-known off-chain governance projects. Third, we investigate four common on-chain governance voting techniques, then summarize the seven attributes that the on-chain governance voting process should meet, and finally analyze four well-known on-chain governance blockchain projects based on the previous research. We hope this survey will provide an in-depth insight into the potential development direction of blockchain governance and device future research agenda.

区块链系统的治理技术:调查

2016年以太坊DAO攻击事件造成重大经济损失后，区块链治理成为一个突出的研究领域。然而，目前对区块链治理缺乏全面、系统的文献综述。为了深入了解区块链治理的过程，为未来区块链治理模式的设计提供指导，我们对区块链治理进行了深入的回顾。在本文中，我们首先介绍了目前在区块链中使用的共识算法，并将它们与治理理论联系起来。其次，介绍了链下治理的主要内容，并考察了两个知名的链下治理项目。第三，我们研究了四种常见的链上治理投票技术，然后总结了链上治理投票过程应该满足的七个属性，最后在前人研究的基础上分析了四个知名的链上治理区块链项目。我们希望这项调查能够深入了解区块链治理的潜在发展方向和设备未来的研究议程。
