Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss dependability and security aspects of blockchain-based applications, and analyse how the properties of dependability and security relate to these applications. As is the case throughout the book, our viewpoint for the discussion in this chapter is that of a system architect or developer using blockchain as a component. We thus analyse how blockchains impact the dependability and security of systems built upon them, in part with studies using observations from the mainstream proof-of-work blockchains Ethereum and Bitcoin.
