Abstract

Blockchain technology has been extensively applied to Supply Chain Management (SCM). Based on technological innovations such as distributed ledgers, symmetric encryption, authorization, consensus mechanisms, and smart contracts, blockchain technology overcomes the traditional limitations of information gap, traceability, transaction transparency, and credit problems in SCM. In this paper, a platform for SCM is established and analyzed from the perspective of blockchain technology. This paper provides important reference for the construction of supply chain logistics information systems and the design of supply chain application systems for credit management.
