Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger technology that records transactions across multiple computers securely. It ensures data integrity through cryptographic hashing, enabling transparent, tamper-proof records without a central authority. Blockchain technology is revolutionizing supply chain logistics by enhancing transparency, efficiency, and security. By creating immutable, decentralized ledgers, blockchain ensures real-time tracking of goods, reducing fraud and errors. Each transaction is recorded on a block, providing a transparent and tamper-proof trail from origin to destination. This improves traceability, essential for industries like food and pharmaceuticals where verifying product authenticity is crucial. Smart contracts automate and enforce agreements, reducing delays and administrative costs. Overall, blockchain fosters a more resilient and responsive supply chain, driving trust and efficiency in global trade. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of blockchain and the recent studies in this field. Such selected concepts that redefine this area have been presented in this book. Those with an interest in supply chain logistics would find this book helpful.
