Abstract. First imlementation of blockchain technology was appeared in 2008, and 12 years later more than 2000 different implementations of it have appeared. After deep analysis we found that approaches for development blockchain technologies is fragmented, there are no common system of concepts and general model of technology. In this article we want to propose the general universal model and system of concepts for the blockchain technology irrespective of differenced of some implementations. Our approach is based on a technical analysis of the popular blockchains. The results of this work can be used by architects of new blockchains implementstions, by researchers to achieve theirs goals and also in educational process.
