БЛОКЧЕЙН ТЕХНОЛОГИЯ В УПРАВЛЕНИЕТО НА ВЕРИГАТА ЗА ДОСТАВКИ: ТЕКУЩИ ПРИЛОЖЕНИЯ И БЪДЕЩИ ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ

Abstract

The supply chain is one of the use cases where blockchain has proven to be a powerful technology, enabling increased transparency, traceability, and security.However, as acknowledged by many who consider scalability, high costs, and data privacy among the key technical challenges today, this paper explores the benefits that supply chain implementation can bring, as well as its architecture.The presented examples include e-commerce and logistics, where fraud can be reduced while operational efficiency is improved through the use of blockchain technology.The research also discusses sharding solutions and Layer 2 approaches that address scalability issues without compromising security or providing unnecessary information for other research areas.It has been found that the use of blockchain technology in supply chain management is highly beneficial.However, the technical and regulatory challenges to successful adoption push industry stakeholders to address them.This, far from being fully resolved without commonly articulated goals, requires standardization efforts aimed at fostering innovations capable of driving transformative changes in global supply chains, empowered by unlocking the full potential offered by distributed ledger technology (DLT) such as blockchains.
