The Design and Implementation of a Blockchain-Based Logistics Platform for International Trade

The document transfer and goods delivery process in the traditional international trade process require a lot of manpower and is inefficient. Also, the accidents like damage of goods and tampering of documents may cause the difficulties in attribution of liability. In recent years, there have been related studies analyzing the characteristics of blockchain and further exploring its applications in the logistics industry. But its applications in international trade are seldom discussed. Thus, we develop a blockchain-based logistic platform for international trade on top of blockchain to simplify the process, thereby showing the potential application of the blockchain technology in the logistics industry.
