Abstract: Abstract This chapter integrates researches on blockchain platform building, specifically issues related to platform development, the funding of blockchains through ICOs, blockchain associated risks, and the related regulation. We start by providing a general picture of a choice of permissioned vs permissionless platform by a developer. Next we examine the role of ICOs (initial coin offering) in the financing and development of blockchain platforms. We further discuss the various risks posed by this new technology in light of the surge in blockchain applications and conduct a survey on the major regulation toward the blockchain technology/industry at the current stage.
