The blockchain concept forms the backbone of a new wave technology thatpromises to be deployed extensively in a wide variety of industrial andsocietal applications. Governments, financial institutions, banks, industrialsupply chains, service companies, and even educational institutions andhospitals are investing in a substantial manner in the hope of improvingbusiness efficiency and operational robustness through deployment of blockchaintechnology. This thesis work is concerned with designing trustworthybusiness-to-business (B2B) market platforms drawing upon blockchain technologyand game theory.  The proposed platform is built upon three key ideas. First, we usepermissioned blockchains with smart contracts as a technically sound approachfor building the B2B platform. The blockchain deploys smart contracts thatgovern the interactions of enterprise buyers and sellers. Second, the smartcontracts are designed using a rigorous analysis of a repeated game model ofthe strategic interactions between buyers and sellers. We show that such smartcontracts induce honest behavior from buyers and sellers. Third, we embedcryptographic regulation protocols into the permissioned blockchain to ensurethat business sensitive information is not revealed to the competitors. Webelieve our work is an important step in the direction of building a powerfulB2B platform that maximizes social welfare and enables trusted collaborationbetween strategic enterprise agents.
