ABSTRACT
Blockchain technology is nowadays applied to several domains, essentially finance, healthcare, supply chain, and digital identity management. For enterprises to adopt a blockchain solution, many existing platforms facilitate the development process rather than implementing the system from scratch. Each platform has its own characteristics, capabilities, and limitations. Thus, several factors should be considered, including the consensus mechanism, the programming language, scalability, and security, as well as the popularity and maturity of the platform. Using a scoring approach, we provide a comparative analysis of the 12 most commonly used platforms, which facilitates comparison and selection of the most suitable platform for a developer’s application.
