“…When looking into the application domain, most of the research (7 articles) discuss the application of blockchain for e-Government in general, discuss the idea, potential benefits, current issues, potential use, approach and evaluation of blockchain adoption [20,25,27,29,[35][36][37]. Blockchain applications in public healthcare received the highest attention, with four articles looking into the possible use of blockchain to Meanwhile, three articles examined the use of blockchain in educational services to overcome the lack of data integration and integrity in the public education sector [7,40,41].…”

The ability of blockchain technology to record transactions on distributed ledgers offers new opportunities for governments to improve transparency, prevent fraud, and establish trust in the public sector. However, blockchain adoption and use in the context of e-Government is rather unexplored in academic literature. In this paper, we systematically review relevant research to understand the current research topics, challenges and future directions regarding blockchain adoption for e-Government. The results show that the adoption of blockchainbased applications in e-Government is still very limited and there is a lack of empirical evidence. The main challenges faced in blockchain adoption are predominantly presented as technological aspects such as security, scalability and flexibility. From an organizational point of view, the issues of acceptability and the need of new governance models are presented as the main barriers to adoption. Moreover, the lack of legal and regulatory support is identified as the main environmental barrier of adoption. Based on the challenges presented in the literature, we propose future research questions that need to be addressed to inform how the public sector should approach the blockchain technology adoption.

“…Given the distributed way data is stored in Blockchain, applications related to logistics, land properties, electricity, government payments and smart contracts turn out to be appropriate, since the different actors involved in each process would benefit from the distributed ledger (Atzori, 2018;Buth, Wieczorek, & Verbong, 2019;Engin & Treleaven, 2019;Kossow, 2019;Li, Greenwood, & Kassem, 2019;Marchionni, 2018;Maza, 2019;Ølnes, Ubacht, & Janssen, 2017;Thakur, Doja, Dwivedi, Ahmad, & Khadanga, 2019). Polls, Supply Chain, Digital Identity and Building Construction share Blockchain's data processing efficiency; the technology stands out for its security in storing data, as they are important information, be it for social control -elections and document maintenance -or for the control of buildings and food and/or medication, and the public administration must control or regulate these processes (Abelseth, 2018;Johnson, 2019;Kossow, 2019;Lander & Cooper, 2017;Li et al, 2019;Tseng, Liao, Chong, & Liao, 2018).…”

“…Blockchain could improve the reliability of the votes, since the generation of electoral data would be recorded on several servers in order to make any kind of tampering impossible. It would also allow for a more dynamic voting system and could facilitate the conduct of referendums and public consultations (Lander & Cooper, 2017). Thus, new ways of managing public assets could be considered, minimizing the direct and often unilateral influence of the State.…”

“…The identification that Blockchain would impact on the facilitation of direct democracy and data transparency was verified based on the possibility of offering a new mechanism for the construction of public policies and social participation, considering the possibility of reliable electronic elections (Berg et al, 2018;Lander & Cooper, 2017). By making use the distributed network, it would be possible to improve the reliability and ease of communication between the actors involved, allowing a bottomup model of organized and efficient public policy making (Ducas & Wilner, 2017).…”

RESUMO Objetivo a revisão sistemática desenvolvida neste artigo teve como objetivo apresentar as potenciais aplicações e consequências do uso da Blockchain para a administração pública. Método a partir da busca de artigos nas bases Scopus, Web of Science, SSRN e Science Direct, e seguindo o método PRISMA, foram selecionados 16 artigos que continham as temáticas: Blockchain, participação governamental direta ou como principal regulamentador, política pública. Resultados as principais aplicações encontradas foram referentes a: processamento de dados e segurança de dados públicos, novas propostas de regulamentação estatal e de organização institucional. Quanto aos impactos, destacam-se a melhoria na gestão dos dados, diminuição da burocracia e necessidade de afinar a relação entre Estado, sociedade e mercado. Conclusão a Blockchain apresenta-se como uma tecnologia capaz de renovar os processos de gestão, mas criando novos desafios à administração pública. Classificação JEL: O14, H83, L86.

Governments should do small scale BTC application experiments to materialize the potential and to avoid costly failures.…”

In a world of nonstop developing technology, Blockchain has become a trusted tool to apply transparency in the public sector. The consensus mechanism provides trusted data that can support clear and adjusted as well as well-structured procedures. Nowadays, the public sector can increase trust by adapting Blockchain applications in the services offered to be e-government portals. In this paper, the researchers review the literature to identify the potential use cases and application of Blockchain in e-government services. This new technology along with its related applications will be discussed and defined. Moreover, the possibilities of using Blockchain in the public sector and its impact on organizational transformation, financial management, and performance are increasing. The study concluded that the use of blockchain technologies and applications is still limited in the public sector. Obstacles and barriers are related mostly to (security and privacy) and law and by-laws support. This paper will provide a useful reference for researchers in blockchain applications and their impact on e-government and propose future research questions that need to be addressed to inform how the public sector should approach the blockchain technology adoption.
