Summary: Blockchain has revolutionized the way business is conducted, making it highly disruptive. However, implementing blockchain technologies in various services and industries is a challenging endeavor. This study presents a framework for investigating the critical factors that influence the successful adoption of blockchain technologies and ranks them using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory technique. Fourteen critical success factors are identified and classified into technological, organizational, and environmental categories. Additionally, sixteen key performance indicators for successful blockchain adoption are introduced and categorized into five areas. The study concludes that environmental factors are the most crucial for blockchain adoption, with law and policies and competitive pressure being the top factors. In the technological context, only blockchain scalability stands out as a significant factor for adoption, while adequate resources, top management support, and financial constraints are highly ranked in the organizational context.
