Abstract
Since 2009 when Bitcoin was introduced, followed by the evolution of permissioned and permissionless blockchain networks as we know of them today, the technology of distributed ledgers is continuously changing to satisfy the markets interest into them. Alongside, software development methodologies are also evolving in order to incorporate the businesses and users demands. The broad use of internet in everyday tasks and services such as Backend as a Service, Database as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service and Software as a Service have formed the software processes that are adopted to produce the final product. Blockchain changes drastically the way software is developed and companies producing software must adapt quickly by changing their software processes accordingly to avoid obstacles and pitfalls coming of that, in order to incorporate this new technology but also follow techniques, which will produce sustainable software.
