Abstract: This paper is devoted to substantiating the need to study architectural models of blockchain networks, which include local single-node, local multinode, distributed single-node, and distributed multi-node structures. An analysis of their key characteristics is given, considering such parameters as scalability, security, and decentralization. These parameters constitute the fundamental concept of the blockchain trilemma, which lies in the need to compromise between them. At the same time, the paper analyzes the relationship of the blockchain trilemma with architectural models of blockchain networks, including local single-node, local multi-node, distributed single-node, and distributed multi-node structures. It is shown how each architectural model implements the specified parameters and encounters the limitations of the blockchain trilemma. Also, the main application areas and tasks solved using each model are given based on the proposed notations of architectural models of blockchain networks. This approach contributes to the development of blockchain technologies and their adaptation to various research areas.
