It seems like the first author is still a student. So this could be a BSc./MSc. project, for example.

Author [Marc] here: I'm a master student at TU Delft and this was a literature survey in preparation for 1) the recent developments in the blockchain lab at TU Delft and 2) my master thesis -- and therefore also to stimulate my interests in blockchain technologies.

Seeing as the release is named "Release to turn in", I'd say so too.

I think it would be fair if the title is changed from

"... by Delft University"

to

"... by student of Delft University".

Or just drop it altogether and shorten the title.

Please don't alter our title. I'm the second author and tenured staff member of TUDelft, associate professor.
