  Blockchain is a radical innovation with a unique value proposition that
shifts trust from institutions to algorithms. Still, the potential of
blockchains remains elusive due to knowledge gaps between computer science
research and socio-economic research. Building on information technology
governance literature and the theory of coevolution, this study develops a
process model for blockchain configurations that captures blockchain capability
dimensions and application areas. We demonstrate the applicability of the
proposed blockchain configuration process model on four blockchain projects.
The proposed blockchain configuration process model assists with the selection
and configuration of blockchain systems based on a set of known requirements
for a blockchain project. Our findings contribute to research by bridging
knowledge gaps between computer science and socio-economic research on
blockchain. Specifically, we explore existing blockchain concepts and integrate
them in a process model for blockchain configurations.
