As supply chains become increasingly digitized and decentralized, ensuring security, traceability, data integrity has emerged as a critical concern. Blockchain technology shown significant potential to address these challenges by providing immutable records, transparent flows, tamper-resistant transaction logs. However, the effective application of blockchain in real-world requires careful evaluation both architectural design technical limitations, including scalability, interoperability, privacy. This review systematically examines existing blockchain-based chain solutions, classifying them based on their structural models, cryptographic foundations, storage strategies. Special attention is also given underexplored humanitarian logistics scenarios. It introduces three-dimensional framework assess across different approaches. In doing so, it explores key technological enablers, advanced mechanisms such zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) cross-chain architectures, meet evolving privacy interoperability demands. Furthermore, this study outlines conceptual interaction scenario involving permissioned permissionless networks, connected through bridge mechanism supported representative smart contract logic. The model illustrates how decentralized stakeholders can interact securely heterogeneous platforms. By integrating quantitative metrics, simulations, qualitative analyses, paper contributes deeper understanding blockchain’s role next-generation chains, offering guidance for researchers practitioners aiming resilient trustworthy management (SCM) systems.
