Introduction and Scope

Hyperledger Supply Chain and Trade Finance Special Interest Group (ST-SIG) represents a global membership of Logistics, Supply Chain and Trade Finance professionals united in advancing the state of the supply chain industry through the implementation of enterprise-grade technology solutions utilizing the Hyperledger greenhouse of business blockchain frameworks and tools.

The activities of the Supply Chain and Trade Finance SIG include:

• Identifying related reference architectures (for example  business and integration architecture, technical and infrastructure architecture), frameworks such as Hyperledger Grid, and models (OSI), use cases, current pilots and proofs of concept, and production case studies;

• Sharing stories of successes, failures, opportunities and challenges;

• Exploring and addressing cross-cutting architectural principles, options and decisions  like performance and scalability, security, identity management and privacy, and identity in logistic contexts

• Working towards proposing solutions to the problems identified;

• Identifying the business community and building an inclusive platform for early adopters to contribute with their experiences

• Supply Chain best practices, awareness of and working in accordance with such rules as customs & import export regulations

Here are the complete scopes and charters of the Supply Chain SIG and the Trade Finance SIG, the two SIGs which were combined to create the Supply Chain and Trade Finance SIG.
