The technology, which was developed as the foundation for the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, has developed much further with creation of Ethereum and the concept of “smart contracts.” This chapter discusses the position of blockchain technology in a hyperconnected environment, and analyses a prototypical logistics scenario where the technology could be used. We describe the characteristics of blockchain technology and provide examples of how it is being applied for mobility and logistics. The chapter concludes by considering particular opportunities for mobility and logistics based on the current characteristics of the technology, and also identified a number of challenges faced by the technology.
