“…We conceptually adapt and link existing domain-specific maturity models using the approach proposed by Paché and Spalanzani (2007) to develop a conceptual framework for supply chain maturity linking organization, sustainability, and digitalization. Furthermore, we use blockchain (Swan, 2015;Yang et al, 2018;Herneth, 2019;Xu et al, 2019) and smart contract development stages (Szabo, 1997;Clack et al, 2016;Savelyev, 2017) as contextualizing and influencing factors. Figure 3 depicts the underlying relationships between the three domain-specific concepts of maturity and contextual factors.…”

“…Digital capabilities for Frontiers in Blockchain | www.frontiersin.org collaborative supply chain management evolve, introducing basic algorithms for planning, forecasting, and decision support to introduce predictive analytics (Cruijssen, 2020) and strengthen alignment across organizational boundaries (Herneth, 2018). Smart terms (SmC 1.0) emerge by leveraging e.g., blockchain-technologies toward distributed ledger-based smart contracts (Swan, 2015;Yang et al, 2018;Xu et al, 2019). Consequently, smart contract code (SmC 2.0) refers to coded components of traditional legal contracts negotiated by human contractual parties.…”

Current research on smart contracts focuses on technical, conceptual, and legal aspects but neglects organizational requirements and sustainability impacts. We consider this a significant research gap and explore the relationship between smart contracts and sustainability in supply chains. First, we define the concept of smart contracts in terms of supply chain management. Then, we conduct a content analysis of the literature to explore the overlapping research fields of smart contracts and sustainability in supply chains. Next, we develop a semi-structured assessment framework to model the potential environmental and social impacts induced by smart contracts on supply chains. We propose a conceptual framework for supply chain maturity by mapping the relationships between organizational development, sustainability, and technology. We identify smart contracts as a foundational technology that enables efficient and transparent governance and collaborative self-coordination of human and non-human actors. Thus, we argue that smart contracts can contribute to the economic and social development of networked value chains and Society 5.0. To stimulate interdisciplinary research on smart contracts, we conclude the article by formulating research propositions and trade-offs for smart contracts in the context of technology development, business process and supply chain management, and sustainability.

During the last decade, distributed ledger solutions such as blockchain have gained significant attention due to their decentralized, immutable, and verifiable features. However, the public availability of data stored on the blockchain and its link to users may raise privacy and security issues. In some cases, addressing these issues requires blockchain data to be secured with mechanisms that allow on-demand (as opposed to full) disclosure. In this paper, we give a comprehensive overview of blockchain privacy and security requirements, and detail how existing mechanisms answer them. We provide a taxonomy of current attacks together with related countermeasures. We present a thorough comparative analysis based on various parameters of state-of the-art privacy and security mechanisms, we provide recommendations to design secure and privacy-aware blockchain, and we suggest guidelines for future research.

“…The participants' transaction data in a network is stored in the distributed ledger [16]. Hence, a blockchain relies on a "Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)" which is distributed across several computing nodes or devices [17]. Before a transaction can be stored in the ledger, most of the blockchain network participants must give and record their consents.…”

As the Bitcoin keeps increasing in value compared to other cryptocurrencies, more attention has given to Blockchain Technology (BT), which is the infrastructure behind the Bitcoin, especially on its role in addressing the problems of the classical centralized system. As a digital currency, Bitcoin is dependent on the decentralized cryptographic tools and peer-to-peer system. The digital currency implements a distributed ledger using Blockchain when verifying any type of transaction. In this paper, the aim is to describe how digital currency networks such as Bitcoin provides a "trust-less" platform for users to embark on money transfers without necessarily depending on any central trusted establishments such as payment services or financial institutions. Furthermore, this work comprehensively overviewed the basic principle that underly BT, such as transaction, consensus algorithms, and hashing. This study also provided a novel classification for blockchain types according to their system architecture and consensus strategy. For each type, our contribution was provided with an example, which clearly describes the blockchain features and the transaction steps. Our classification intended to help researchers understand and choose the blockchain for their application. The paper ends with the discussion of the differences between each type
