This chapter examines the question: how does the blockchain artifact shape, guide, and influence user behavior, given that blockchain, like other technologies, is centralized at the software governance level that is managed by a small group of people or a single party like developers, programmers, herein referred to as the ‘figure’. Here, the effort is to study the blockchain artifact from the perspective of design theory and philosophy of technology to examine how the blockchain code impacts the behavior of the users and the underlying human-technology interaction at the micro level or the programming stage by employing the theory of affordance in relation to the concept of inscription and descriptions and the theory of technological mediation. The discussions herein facilitate in appreciating the technological design issues from a normative standard perspective so that one may aspire to produce legitimate normative architectures and also identify the similarity and dissimilarity, if any, between the characteristics of code embedded in the blockchain and the attributes of legal norms under the rule of law environment.
