“…Trust has been identified as one of the most critical issues that serves as a "lubricant" in the sharing economy [39,40]. Participation in sharing platforms may increase trust in peers [41,42], in platforms [43], and in technology [44,45]. Table 1.…”

“…Trust has been identified as one of the most critical issues that serves as a “lubricant” in the sharing economy [ 39 , 40 ]. Participation in sharing platforms may increase trust in peers [ 41 , 42 ], in platforms [ 43 ], and in technology [ 44 , 45 ]. Studies have examined the role of platforms and their practices to foster trust online [ 46 ], and others have focused on the dichotomy between social inclusion and exclusion [ 47 – 49 ].…”

Impact of Blockchain Applications on Trust in Business

Blockchain applications are considered as "trustless" machines, because they reduce business's needs of trust in others. The "trustless" nature draws researchers' attention on investigating the implications of blockchain in a business environment. From a view of business ethics, this paper aims at evaluating the impacts of blockchain applications on trust and business. After expounding the relations between trust in blockchain and trust in business partners, I evaluate the impacts based on a framework of competence trust, contractual trust, and goodwill trust. My conclusion is that full acceptance of trust in blockchain over trust in others is not good and will cause several risks that cannot be neglected. The main contribution of this paper is investigating and summarizing ethical and commercial risks of blockchain applications including disintermediation fallacy, centralization of trust, ambiguous contract, noncognitive trust in untrustworthy partners, and more actions guided by moral minimum.

“…Blockchain technology seems to follow the blueprint process for a technological hype as described by Gartner's hype cycle (Hawlitschek et al, 2020). The hype cycle distinguishes five phases of development for emerging technologies such as BCT: innovation trigger, the peak of inflated expectation, the through of disillusionment, the slope of enlightenment and eventually reaching the plateau of productivity.…”

With the many promises it holds in addressing problems concerning information exchange and digital transactions in multi-actor processes, blockchain technology (BCT) has gained considerable traction in the agrifood sector. Governments, international organisations, private companies, consortia of public and private actors are launching various blockchain projects for improving transparency, traceability, and many other key issues in the agrifood sector. This has resulted in a large number of use cases. It is often unclear, however, what and how technical, social and economic aspects were considered in different usecases. Due to the novelty and elusiveness of the technology, there is no ready-to-use analytical framework or guideline yet for assessing its applicability and choosing the right technical and organisational setup. As a result, many stakeholders have to grope in the dark when designing and implementing their “blockchain application.” Based on studies of use cases worldwide and experiences in organizing different blockchain pilots in the Netherlands, this paper seeks to address this problem by providing an overview of the choices to be made at three layers of a blockchain application: the ledger, the governance structure and the ecosystem. This can serve as a reference framework for understanding different blockchain applications and choosing key parameters for new use cases in the agrifood sector. It is expected that such demystification of the blockchain will contribute to more realistic and effective application of the technology to pressing problems in agriculture and food.
