This perspective article focuses on blockchain platforms as new forms of organization and governance within the decision-making centralization/decentralization continuum. It aims to address the following research questions: How does the context of blockchain and community-based governance creates new theoretical challenges regarding the traditional centralization/decentralization debate in corporate governance? What are the main cost-benefit trade-offs regarding (de) centralization of decision-making process in a blockchain platform's organizational “ecosystem”? The paper outlines the blockchain platforms' governance spectrum that ranges from a high degree of centralization to an “open source” governance model. This is followed by a discussion of drivers of governance models including an interface between platform-specific investment and heterogeneity of platform participants. The paper concludes with an outline of implications for future research and practice.
