Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and
controversies associated with blockchain technology. It identifies technical
challenges such as scalability, security, privacy, and interoperability, as
well as business and adoption challenges, and the social, economic, ethical,
and environmental controversies present in current blockchain systems. We argue
that responsible blockchain development is key to overcoming these challenges
and achieving mass adoption. This paper defines Responsible Blockchain and
introduces the STEADI principles (sustainable, transparent, ethical, adaptive,
decentralized, and inclusive) for responsible blockchain development.
Additionally, it presents the Actor-Network Theory-based Responsible
Development Methodology (ANT-RDM) for blockchains, which includes the steps of
problematization, interessement, enrollment, and mobilization.
