The following list indicates design considerations that you should take into account:

• What is the As-Is business workflow?
• What is the To-Be workflow?
• Who are the stakeholders?
• Do identities/public-private key pairs need to be created for all the stakeholders?
• What will the high-level architecture be?
• What technical components will our architecture be comprised of?
• What is the blockchain platform to be used?
• What legacy applications need to be integrated into the blockchain application?
• How many nodes need to be set up in the blockchain network?
• What is the transaction throughput?
• What data is private and public to the blockchain network participants?
• What data can be published to the network?
• How can we keep data private from other network participants?
• What security controls need to be implemented (client ports to be opened, key management, and so on)?
