Just Released: Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM) v2.0

Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM) version 2.0 builds on the previous version by refining how the framework is structured and applied, rather than changing its core purpose. The goal remains the same: provide a consistent way to evaluate the maturity and trustworthiness of blockchain solutions. The difference is in how clearly that goal is now expressed.

One of the most noticeable improvements is the way requirements are presented. In the earlier version, expectations were often embedded within descriptive text, which required interpretation. Version 2.0 makes those requirements more direct and easier to verify. This reduces ambiguity and helps ensure that different assessors reach consistent conclusions.

The maturity levels are also more clearly defined. While the same progression exists, version 2.0 aligns each level more closely with stages in a solution’s lifecycle. This makes it easier to understand what is expected as a solution moves from concept to deployment and ongoing improvement.

Another key enhancement is the shift toward a capability-based view of the solution. The previous version included elements focused on resources, such as technical and non-technical assets. Version 2.0 places greater emphasis on what the solution can demonstrate in terms of performance, reliability, and sustainability. This aligns the model more closely with how mature systems are evaluated in practice.

Assessment clarity has also improved. Requirements are written in a way that supports objective evidence, making evaluations more consistent and credible. In addition, domain-specific requirements are now more clearly positioned as extensions to the core model, allowing flexibility without reducing consistency.

Overall, version 2.0 improves usability through clearer language and structure. It makes the model easier to apply, while strengthening its role as a practical tool for continuous improvement in blockchain solutions.
