Abstract

This study looked at the blockchain technology as an ecosystem side and examined the role of each component. In this study, the blockchain ecosystem is a network structure in which members share and collaborate with each other in order to create new value(service) based on the distributed ledger. Hence compare to bio-ecosystem, the components of blockcahin ecosystem are consists of service providers(producer), service users(consumer) and the distributed ledger owners(decomposer). Distributed ledgers, who act as decomposers in the blockchain ecosystem, play an important role. In order to maintain and activate the value of the blockchain ecosystem, the ecosystem can be effectively operated by constructing an environment in which the distributed ledger owners can handle effectively. This will help us to understand the relationship between ecosystems and not only to contribute to the study but also to activate the blockchain ecosystem. The limitations of this study are based on exploratory research, and specific discussion is needed based on objective data.

본 연구는 생태계 측면으로 블록체인 기술을 논의하고 각 구성 요소의 역할에 대하여 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 블록체인 생태계는 구성원이 분산 원장을 기반으로 새로운 가치(서비스)를 창출하기 위해 서로 공유하고 협업하는 네트워크 구조이다. 따라서 식물생태계와 비교하면, 블록체인 생태계의 구성 요소는 서비스 제공 업체(생산자), 서비스 사용자(소비자) 및 분산 원장 소유자(분해자)로 구성된다. 블록체인 생태계에서 분해자 역할을 하는 분산 원장은 중요한 요소이다. 블록체인 생태계의 가치를 유지하고 활성화하기 위해 분산 원장 소유자가 효율성을 확보 할 수 있는 환경을 구축하여야 생태계가 활성화 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 블록체인 생태계의 내부 관계를 이해하고 관련 연구에 기여할 뿐만 아니라 생태계를 활성화시키는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 본 연구의 한계는 탐구적인 연구를 기반으로 작성한 것이며, 향후에는 객관적인 자료를 기반으로 관련 논의가 되어야 한다.
