Abstract

This paper presents reports of experiences of IT teams in the creation of the Brazilian Blockchain Application Testbed (TABB). The TABB is an initiative project of the Technical Committee on Blockchain (CT-Blockchain), coordinated by the National Education and Research Network (RNP). Currently, this project comprises two blockchains from the Hyperledger project, Fabric and Indy, the former for general purpose and the latter for identity management. Questionnaires were designate and applied to collect the experiences of the IT teams doing the deployment. This survey identified that the methods currently used are not the most adequate for this process. It is hoped with this article a more assertive development will be made, through a new method or by improving the currently used ones.
