Brazilian Blockchain Observatory — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This publication brings together the perspectives of six male and five female researchers with significant scientific output in the field of blockchain, as evidenced by substantial citation counts and recognition within the academic community. The selection was based on indicators of national scientific production in blockchain, developed in partnership with BrCris, from the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (Ibict), and available on the National Blockchain Observatory. In assembling this group, efforts were also made to ensure gender equity. These scientists were interviewed individually and described scenarios of technological advancement, case studies and applications, and analyzed Brazil's position within a global research and development context. The document presents a curated selection of perspectives from these experts who participate in and strengthen the blockchain ecosystem.

This document proposes an initial governance model for the blockchain networks to be developed and maintained within the scope of the ILIAD Project. The purpose is to ensure that the blockchain networks operate in a transparent, secure and efficient manner, promoting collaboration and active participation of all stakeholders. This governance model will serve as a guide for the management and operation of the networks, defining responsibilities, processes and tools essential for the success of the project.

This document presents blockchain platforms that can be supported by the Iliad project, as well as technical requirements for information technology infrastructure to instantiate blockchain nodes, as well as the design of the first distributed environment between RNP and CPqD with a functional blockchain network. This report is one of the important components to ensure the blockchain infrastructure that will support research in blockchain applications to be developed by universities, research institutions and startups. The survey of blockchain networks that are working, as well as the survey of platforms that can be supported by the project and their respective configurations are important steps to ensure that the Iliad project meets the needs of stakeholders, with the aim of ensuring that decentralized applications are executed on the blockchain networks created throughout goal 3 of Iliad.
