Abstract
Blockchain is a revolutionized decentralized ledger that emerged with the introduction of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This new technology provides a framework to record and transfer data or assets in a safe and stable way. Blockchain has the potential to drive a new future for supply chain systems by delivering efficient, transparent, and integrated network for sharing data across the entire supply chain processes and stakeholders. This review describes the current threats of the supply chain system and the benefits of adopting blockchain technology to supply chain framework. In view of current methodologies and results presented by various scholars the paper also aims to address the research gaps in literature concerning blockchain in supply chain applications.
