As the growth of blockchain technology accelerates, attention towards mass adoption among institutions and supply chains are following suit. Smart contracts represent a blockchain application that has the potential to enhance and transform many facets of a supply chain by eliminating intermediaries, more effective transactions, reducing costs, anti-tampering, transparency, etc. However, the application of smart contracts will be severely limited if it cannot access real - world, off-chain data. The blockchain technology is intentionally designed to prevent this to ensure security of the network. Therefore, blockchain oracles are utilized to connect the blockchain to off-chain data sources. Data sources such as IoT sensors or web APIs are often centralized entities that are relatively easy to attack in comparison to a blockchain network. Using such oracles in turn opens the blockchain to a single point of failure. This phenomenon is known as the oracle problem, erasing the benefits of adopting blockchain technology in the first place. Therefore, this problem needs to be addressed before mass adoption within supply chains can take place. This paper discusses this problem in detail and highlights several available blockchain projects that can address this issue. This paper also proposes several methods that supply chains can consider in addressing the oracle problem, including the use of interoperability solutions, decentralized oracle systems, or implementing a hybrid solution.

Supply chain management is an integral part of most businesses because it could affect the sustainability of a business and the customer's satisfaction. Various computerized SCM system have been proposed in order to built an effective and efficient supply chain management system. However, these existing systems are based on centralized architecture and could not fully integrate the supply chain data from its members. Furthermore, a centralized system architecture has a higher risk to suffer from single-point-of-failure issue. In this paper, a secure blockchain-based SCM framework is proposed. The proposed SCM framework adopts a data verification mechanism through the use of a unique shipment security token. The shipment security token is distributed via 2 channels: the physical and digital token distribution channel. The 2 channels token verification method secures the data stored in the blockchain ledger and makes it easy to trace the product data in the blockchain network. A prototype based on the proposed blockchain-based supply chain model is implemented to show the feasibility of the proposed framework design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Blockchain technology has been gaining traction recently, especially entering 2021. Many institutions have begun development and implementation of blockchain technology within the parameters of their own unique business environment. For the rest of the institutions and supply chains, especially smaller ones, very few guidelines exist on how to implement this technology into their existing systems. There are various stages and areas of concern throughout the implementation stage. This research discusses blockchain technology from a supply chain management perspective, then proposes a step-by-step framework for institutions to adopt this technology into their supply chains. This framework considers several crucial factors pertaining to supply chain requirements such as potential benefits of the technology towards the supply chain, whether to select private or public blockchain models, "permissioned" or "permissionless" models, consensus protocol evaluation and selection, and the use of decentralized blockchain oracle networks to onboard off-chain data into the blockchain network. Each stage is discussed in detail, elaborating the areas of concern that institutions need to pay attention to. The paper ends with several future research suggestions that can build upon the proposed framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Covid-19 pandemic has surely made us realize that we can fall short of important equipment and drugs which do not reach people on time leading to deaths and tension. The reason for this is not only the lack of funds or raw materials but something even more disheartening. Even during these tough times, people have taken advantage of the situation where they keep and store important equipment like PPE kits, masks, sanitizers, etc. and start black marketing the same. This grave situation has occurred because of the lack of control, transparency, and traceability of the existing supply chain. Blockchain seems to be a good solution to this serious problem. Blockchain technology is used to store the data in a decentralized and immutable format keeping it private and safe from unintended users and tracking and tracing the products. This paper talks about the various use cases for healthcare workers and the various limitations of the existing blockchain framework for the forward supply chain. A framework is proposed that overcomes the limitations of the entire blockchain framework available and used for supply chain with its incentive mechanism which will help every participant in the chain.
