Summary - M.3166.1 (10/2025) - Interface for a blockchain management system – Protocol neutral requirements

Recommendation ITU-T M.3166.1 proposes the protocol-neutral requirements for the management interface between a blockchain management system and blockchain systems. It defines the interface's position and specifies management requirements across key functional areas, including configuration management, performance management, fault management, and log management. This Recommendation aims to standardize the design, development, and application of blockchain system management interfaces to ensure efficient operation, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Key features include querying and modifying configurations, creating and managing performance measurement jobs, handling alarms, and managing logs. This Recommendation also provides detailed use cases, definitions, and references to existing ITU-T Recommendations, ensuring alignment with broader telecommunications management standards. This series of Recommendations is intended to enhance the stability, transparency, and interoperability of blockchain systems in diverse applications.
