ABSTRACT
Blockchain is a distributed
database that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. Blocks have certain storage capacity and, when filled,
they are closed, and linked to the previously filled block, forming a chain. Blockchains are typically managed by
a peer-to-peer method where nodes collectively adhere to a consensus algorithm protocol to add and
validate new transaction blocks. The author makes a review of Blockchain applications in different areas,
considerable challenges, her own experience with Blockchain in Smart Grid and
other researchers` contributions. The paper presents the first stage of project
“Smart Grid for Sustainable Management of Environmental Resources Usage”—describing
Managed Objects classes for selected functional areas of Blockchain life cycle:
Configuration, Security, and Performance. The author uses the life cycle of
telecommunication networks as a reference. The models are designed for user
interface developers, university professors, and students.
