Opportunities and Challenges of DLT (Blockchain) in Mobility and Logistics

This report presents the economic potential, legal framework, and technical foundations required to understand distributed ledger (DL) / blockchain technology and llustrates the opportunities and challenges they present, especially in the mobility and logistics sectors. It was compiled by the blockchain laboratory at Fraunhofer FIT on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI). Its intended audience comprises young companies seeking, for example, a legal assessment of data protection issues related to DL and blockchain technologies, decisionmakers in the private sector wishing concrete examples to help them understand how this technology can impact existing and emerging markets and which measures might be sensible from a business perspective, public policymakers and politicians wishing to familiarize themselves with this topic in order to take a position, particularly in the mobility and logistics sectors, and members of the general public interested in the technology and its potential. The report does not specifically address those with a purely academic or scientific interest in these topics, although parts of it definitely reflect the current state of academic discussion

Blockchain and smart contracts : Technologies, research issues and applications

This position paper analyzes blockchain technology from a scientific and application-oriented perspective of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. It examines relevant technical aspects and related research questions. This shows that the technology still has fundamental research and development challenges in all areas. These include, for example, the modularization of individual blockchain concepts as well as their combination and integration for application-specific blockchain solutions. The investigation of fields of application and industries that can best benefit from the new technology shows that different properties of the blockchain are relevant for a field of application are. While the automation potential associated with smart contracts is essential for the Internet of Things, it is the irreversibility of the transactions managed for applications in the areas of supply chain, digital media or for guarantees of origin. However, the decisive aspect is that the blockchain is of great relevance for many different areas of application outside of the financial sector and, above all, independent of cryptocurrencies. The paper provides a list of criteria to identify applications that are suitable for using a blockchain. that the blockchain is of great relevance for many different areas of application outside of the financial sector and, above all, independent of cryptocurrencies.
