Abstract

As a rapidly-developing emerging technology, blockchain met the challenges of standardization. In order to analyze the systematic degree of blockchain standards, 3 developing stages of both blockchain industry and standard system are comparatively studied. The current status of blockchain standardization in the aspect of participants including ISO, ITU-T, IEEE-SA and national level organizations are summarized. A total number of 167 blockchain standard projects have been collected and studied. Highlighted topics including foundational, security, privacy & identity, application, data, test & assessment are analyzed. Finally, a blockchain standard system composed of 10 categories of blockchain standards is given, based on which the challenges and trends of blockchain standardization are analyzed.
