The section presents architectural and technological aspects of the product. Hence, we suggest having separate subsections: [Technology stacks]: includes programming language for front-end, back-end, database technology, cloud services, third-party APIs, open-source library and frameworks, etc. It is important to justify why the technology stacks are chosen.[Overall architectural patterns]: at first, a general architectural view should be provided. In many cases, the architecture reflects the adopted frameworks or libraries. Typical general architectures are client-server, n-tier architecture, micro-service architecture, model-view-controller pattern, etc.[Architectural views]: 4 + 1 architectural view model provides a standard way to describe multiple views of a software system. In case the students are not familiar with these views, it should allow a simpler version of the detailed architecture. At least three different views should be considered whenever the views are applicable to the selected solution: Class diagram: a static structure of the product from an object-oriented perspectiveDatabase diagram: a basic structure of data that is used in the product, including data tables or data objects and their relationships.User experience design: a final screenshot of the font-end design for the product

Following the research question, the study adopted a systems perspective (Arnold and Wade 2015) because it is the sharing of information between units (partners) that are explored. It is further inspired from the established 4 + 1 architectural view model (Kruchten 1995) to explore the various elements within a system. Several studies have adopted a systematic approach for developing frameworks, including actor interaction, rules for interaction and functions; for instance, Salah et al. (2019), Westerkamp, Victor, and Küpper (2020), Kumar et al. (2020) and Li et al. (2020). This study employed a similar five-step methodology, as shown in Figure 1, to explore the research question. We specifically developed a framework that incorporates smart contracts designed in a comprehensive and systematic manner to facilitate collaboration.
