Despite the abundance and variety of features of blockchain technology, choosing a suitable and reliable blockchain platform is somewhat challenging. Several criteria, including profitability, sustainability, and popularity, should be considered to identify such platforms. Accordingly, this study investigates the blockchain platform evaluation and selection as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. In this regard, we propose an integrated approach based on the extended version of MCDM methods in a spherical fuzzy environment. In the developed approach, the main criteria are weighted using the developed spherical fuzzy best-worst method (SF-BWM) to reduce uncertainty in pairwise comparisons. Then, the 15 …
