Abstract
Blockchain technology has fostered many projects, which have seen in it an alternative to carry out data management without relying on a trusted third party. However, business are failing to adopt this technology, and many applications are left over to proof of concepts. Furthermore, new Blockchain networks are emerging every year, hindering the decision to use this technology.
The objective of this work is to have preliminary results on identifying available Blockchain networks. Recognizing their main characteristics: the type of consensus algorithm, centralization, and origin of the network, among others. We carried out a Multi-Vocal Review to identify the available Blockchain networks and analyze their most relevant characteristics. Resulting in a characterization of 112 Blockchain networks, offering a guide for the software developer, so that strategic decisions can be made when incorporating this technology.
