Sustainable Social Bank Development using Blockchain
Keywords:
Timebank, Sustainable Social Bank, Blockchain-Oriented Software, Agile Software DevelopmentAbstract
Blockchain has made a big impact as the new rising technology that provides immutability and integrity in data. Attracting software developers to revolutionize Blockchain in their own system, it has proven to be quite difficult to associate traditional software development methodologies to achieve one’s goal for a system. In this paper, we will explore whether Agile methodology can be invested as a prime model for development by applying it in a Blockchain mobile application called Sustainable Social Bank. Using time as a conversion currency to exchange services, all processes to incentivize the application will be recorded and Agile will be implemented as the software development method that will gather the requirement, analyzation, design, development, testing module and deployment of the smart contract in the Blockchain. After defining the general process of Agile methodology used as the context of this publication, we will summarize it in the end product of the mobile application
