Abstract

While blockchain was designed as a ledger for cryptocurrency transactions, it can record transactions of anything of value. Blockchain is increasingly used to prove the integrity of commodities, tracing their supply chain journey from the source to the end user. Yet, transferring this technology from a cryptocurrency context to a supply chain setting is not without difficulties. This article explores the implications for multinational and transnational companies in using blockchain as a means to address modern slavery. The research identifies five challenges: verification, inclusion, trust, privacy, and normativity.
区块链能帮助解决供应链中的现代奴役问题吗?
虽然区块链被设计为加密货币交易的分类账,但它可以记录任何有价值的交易。区块链越来越多地被用于证明商品的完整性,追踪它们从源头到最终用户的供应链旅程。然而,将这项技术从加密货币环境转移到供应链环境并非没有困难。本文探讨了跨国公司和跨国公司使用区块链作为解决现代奴隶制问题的手段的影响。该研究确定了五大挑战:验证、包容、信任、隐私和规范性。
