Abstract
Blockchain has emerged as a promising technology to ensure trust between parties. By using
this technology, we can establish a secure communication paradigm, where data integrity and immutability
can be guaranteed. These inherited features underline blockchain as a suitable technology to optimise the
adoptedprocessingmodelinseveraldomains,suchashealth,tradesupplychainandfoodsafety.Inthispaper,
we present a detailed overview of the use of blockchain technology in (international) trade supply chains.
Furthermore, the discussed proposals have been classi ed based on the target application scenarios. Our
goal is to clarify the bene ts of applying this technology to the trading domain and highlight the challenges
that are associated with applying this technology to optimise the trading domain. Accordingly, we underline
several issues that occur during the designing of the blockchain solution to optimise the (international) trade
supply chain.
