The execution of multi-party business processes on blockchains has been more and more used in the last years in those contexts where trust among the involved parties is a crucial requirement that cannot be assumed by default. The immutability, transparency, and decentralised characteristics of the blockchain ensure the parties' responsibility in case of controversial actions. However, if on the one hand, the immutable nature of the blockchain brings many benefits from the trust perspective, on the other hand such rigidity leads to a lack of flexibility in the execution of blockchain-based business processes.
