Abstract: For the development of blockchain applications, platforms have been implemented by corporates like IBM, Oracle, Amazon, etc. Blockchain comprises smart contract development, which gets deployed over a peer-to-peer network. Basic skills about blockchain are still lacking amongst the developer community and all the people involved in developing blockchain applications. This paper proposes an NBSOC framework for organising teams to build blockchain-based applications. This framework has been used to create a team structure for implementing a land record management system. The authors have addressed the implementation challenges, cost, roles and responsibilities of an individual in the blockchain development environment.

Keywords: blockchain; team structure; smart contract; decentralised applications; software engineering.
