“…Although other papers/articles describe practical cases of blockchain technology for product traceability, none are robust in relation to the oracle problem, keeping the blockchain community firmly skeptical about the reliability of non-financial applications. When blockchain is implemented for sustainability reasons, trustworthiness and transparency are often pointed to as being the core characteristics that makes it suitable for purpose [3,80,81]. However, since information on smart contract based blockchain comes from oracles [22,23], trustworthiness and transparency should be no longer given nor guaranteed.…”

“…As recently shown by the Politecnico di Milano Observatory [1], at an international level, more than 580 projects involving blockchain as the main subject can be observed, with an increment of 76% since 2017, although the number of real applications barely exceeds 10%. Many blockchain applications involve financial technology, whereas we are assisting with a slight but progressive increase in non-financial projects such as logistics, production, and traceability [2,3]. Recent literature has shown that blockchain is being tested [4][5][6], mainly in the Chinese and US markets, to track product information and to improve product traceability.…”

Overcoming the Blockchain Oracle Problem in the Traceability of Non-Fungible Products

Blockchain implications within the sustainability domain are rapidly arousing the interest of researchers and institutions. However, despite the avalanche of articles, papers, and recently published books, innovation in the blockchain domain is still heavily influenced by light literature, such as news, articles, opinion posts, and white papers. Lacking a homogeneous literature background, case studies often fall into storytelling, providing mere descriptions of the facts according to the writers' impressions and opinions. We therefore investigate blockchain adoption for sustainable purposes through a case study while remaining firmly grounded in three main theoretical literature streams: knowledge management, knowledge infrastructure, and trust. Since blockchain interaction with the real world is managed by oracles, addressing the oracle problem is essential in order to evaluate the effectiveness of blockchain for sustainability issues. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no other paper has efficiently addressed this subject or even mentioned it. Recognizing its scarce consideration in the literature, the oracle problem will be analyzed in both theoretical and practical terms, thereby providing a way to solve the issues related to non-fungible products in the supply chain. Choice over the selected case study was made in light of the divergence in motives for the adoption of blockchain (economic over social), which makes the results more inferable at a broader scale and offers an insight into how sustainable innovations can also be economically viable.

“…Beyond the cryptocurrency jargon, a blockchain is not only a combination of technologies but also the integration of multiple technologies (Lu, 2019). Most scholars and practitioners commonly understand blockchain as one method within the distributed ledger technology family (Fosso Wamba et al, 2020). Moreover, the ledger is a virtual book or a unique collection of all transactions carried out by the blockchain's exchange parties.…”

The proliferation of sophisticated e-commerce platforms coupled with mobile applications has ignited growth in business-to-consumer (B2C) commerce, reshaped organizational structures, and revamped value creation processes. Simultaneously, new technologies have altered the dynamics of brand marketing, enabling a broader reach and more personalized targeting aimed at increasing brand trust and enhancing customer loyalty. Today, the Internet allows marketers to penetrate deeper into their existing markets, create new online marketplaces and to generate new demand. This dynamic market engagement uses new technologies to target consumers more effectively. In this conceptual paper, we discuss how blockchain technology can potentially impact a firm's marketing activities. More specifically, we illustrate how blockchain technology acts as incremental innovation, empowering the consumer-centric paradigm. Moreover, blockchain technology fosters disintermediation, aids in combatting click fraud, reinforces trust and transparency, enables enhanced privacy protection, empowers security, and enables creative loyalty programs. We present six propositions that will guide future blockchain-related research in the area of marketing.

“…In addition, the process with more transparency and trust [28] will be involved in more collaboration between users of the SC [29], trust [30], responsibility also as security [31] indeed. Even if these crucial advantages, the literature regarding empirical studies [32] on the Blockchain in the context of the SC is rare. Yet, researchers have recently started researching to understand the effectiveness of blockchain adoption in SC contexts [33;34;35].…”

The traditional SC is a model that meets the supply expectations of intermediaries. There are gaps in this model, such as relationships between members of the supply chain or consumers' ignorance of information about the source of the products. This article presents a new SC model with Blockchain. To do this, we carried out a comparison between the traditional supply chain and the new chain with the Blockchain in order to designate a model that meets our needs. This BKC method is a new technology that offers effective and confident solutions in businesses. This new model reinforces the reliability of the system based on transparency and traceability in all chain operations, assets and financial means and removes many of the disadvantages of the traditional supply chain. In addition, the Blockchain coordinates all transactions and multi-agents in the SC
