Task 6
Objective: To apply systems thinking principles to analyze a blockchain network and understand its key components, interactions, and dynamics.
Assignment Tasks:
Select a Blockchain Network: Choose a specific blockchain network or cryptocurrency project to analyze. You can select well-known networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other blockchain of interest to you.
Define the Scope:
Clearly define the scope and boundaries of your analysis. What aspects of the blockchain network will you focus on? Examples may include consensus mechanisms, smart contracts, scalability, security, etc.
Identify Key Components:
List and describe the key components of the blockchain network. This may include nodes, miners, users, transactions, blocks, and the underlying technology (e.g., proof of work or proof of stake).
Analyze Interconnections:
Explore and document the interconnections between the identified components. How do transactions get validated and added to blocks? How do nodes communicate? What is the role of miners in the network?
Feedback Loops:
Identify and describe any feedback loops within the blockchain system. For instance, how does the difficulty level of mining affect the security of the network? Create causal loop diagrams to illustrate these relationships.
Dynamic Behavior:
Analyze the dynamic behavior of the blockchain network. How does it respond to changes in user activity or network congestion? Does it exhibit stability or oscillations under certain conditions?
