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.
