One panel in the International Conference of Information Systems (ICIS), held in December
2016 in Dublin, attracted attention that surpassed the hundreds of seats of the auditorium and
forced the security to close the doors when the stairs became completely occupied. The audience,
eager to join the debate on the research perspectives on the topic of blockchain in the information
systems (IS) field, represented one of the first academic manifestations of the great expectations
placed on this emergent topic in this research community. One year later, the organizers of this
panel (Avital, Beck, King, Rossi, & Teigland, 2016) were the editors of what was probably the
first special issue on blockchain in a relevant IS journal (Beck, Avital, Rossi, & Thatcher, 2017).
Although these events indicate milestones for the IS field, the blockchain started to shake the
world almost a decade before.
Initially made public in a paper launched by an unknown author (or authors, as some believe)
and signed with a pseudonymous (Nakamoto, 2008), blockchain is a topic that has challenged
the academic community since its appearance. First, because it did not come up through the
traditional academic channels, since this seminal paper was not published in journals or
conferences, defying the sacred belief on journals rankings that academic institutions worship.
