“…Thus, it is possible to accurately track and monitor donations and the utilization of funds. The immutability feature, wherein none of the participants can change data without permission from all who share the network, is being used by NPOs in areas such as voter authentication and land ownership registration in voting [22].…”

This study investigated the application of a blockchain for promoting the sustainable development of non-profit organizations (NPOs). Transparency and good governance are important for operating NPOs in addition to building trust with relevant stakeholders. NPOs consume a large amount of resources (including funds) to monitor their operations and present their transparency and soundness of governance to interested stakeholders. Blockchain technology can fulfill an NPO’s requirements at a lower cost and with a higher efficiency. We reviewed the existing research on NPO governance and blockchain applications. In addition, through case studies, we identified sustainable development strategies for NPOs involving blockchain technologies to increase donation, reduce cost, enhance transparency, and improve governance structure.

“…It was also possible to suggest propositions that need to be tested in future empirical studies on adopting blockchain to create transparency in the BS's economic, social, and environmental contexts. Blockchain presents technological capabilities that can provide: Traceability throughout the life cycle of raw materials and products to guarantee environmental management; responsible consumption and production (Chapron, 2017;Howson, 2020;Tsolakis et al, 2020); integrity about improving donation and philanthropy (Lee et al, 2018); digitization of supply chains for better accountability to the several stakeholders that become more connected and informed and create a greater degree of trust among themselves; among other benefits.…”

“…As mentioned, blockchain can be a credit facilitator technology for micro and small organizations, like the Chinese Digital Guangdong project, which provides easy access to credit and transparent transactions through blockchain, together with banks and telecommunications companies (Lahkani et al, 2020). Moreover, blockchain favors transparent donations with privacy to organizations, which can contribute to establishing a safe environment prone to philanthropic activities with NGOs (Lee et al, 2018). Blockchain can be applied with other disruptive innovations -such as Cyber-Physical System (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data (BD), and artificial intelligence (AI) -to favor smart cities 2 and connect public administration tasks with citizens transparently (Oliveira et al, 2020;Tsolakis et al, 2020).…”

Purpose: Blockchain protocol comprises several attributes, among which transparency stands out. In this vein, the purpose of this article is to advance research on the implications of transparency (as derived from the use of blockchain) for business sustainability (BS). Originality/value: There is continuing interest in applying blockchain for creating and improving transparency, with this latter representing a strategic asset in BS. However, despite advancing this subject, the literature still lacks studies that explain the organizational circumstances in which blockchain can enable progress on transparency in the scope of BS. Design/method/approach: The methodology involved an integrative literature review on blockchain, transparency, and BS, and it was conducted with the support of Web of Science and Scopus to attend the research objective. Findings: The results favored the proposal of two analytical frameworks: one refers to the concepts of blockchain and transparency presented by the academic literature, and the other to the benefits of blockchain and transparency for the economic, social, and environmental BS dimensions. Furthermore, discussions involved deducing propositions about the use of blockchain to improve transparency in the BS context. The propositions open future research directions to studies that aim to test them qualitatively or quantitatively.

“…Data are distributed through an extensive, distributed, and incorruptible network of computers, allowing us to interact with stored data timely, without direct intermediaries and reliance on conventional, proprietary, closed, and hard-to-control IT infrastructures [6] . Blockchain provides a new independent, tamper-proof, and transparent platform to securely store, transmit and process sensitive and valuable data [7] , [8] .…”

Drawing upon the functional characteristics of blockchain technology, this paper envisages the feasibility and reliability of developing a charity donation service system loaded onto blockchain in response to the complex service demands encountered by charity operators due to the Covid-19 epidemic. With blockchain technology's support as the underlying data book, this paper focuses on the practical issues of charity donation fund and material allocation, as well as information release and sharing, charity donation organization, and organization self-management. The paper thereby discusses the key technologies in terms of overall structure design, specific service sector, and functional design of the donation service system and further summarizes the operational mechanism of the system as combined with the needs of help-seeking, receiving, and management users. It is argued that all the above proposals have the potential to alleviate the trust crisis of charity services in China in view of low transparency. The paper expects to provide a useful reference for charity business innovation propelled by blockchain technology. INDEX TERMS blockchain technology, the Covid-19 outbreak, charity donation, service system, reliability.
