This research aims to develop and evaluate a framework to handle smart contracts that facilitates and enhances circular economy procedures by utilizing smart contracts to enhance transparency, efficiency, and traceability in supply and recycling chains. The framework simplifies blockchain engagement by enabling the creation, visualization, alteration, and deployment of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Designed to support users with limited blockchain experience, it offers tools that allow for interactive manipulation of visual models and direct data input. A survey was conducted among experts and people from the circular economy sector to see if the framework would be helpful in interacting with smart contracts. The findings indicate that the framework significantly enhances the level of confidence and proficiency of users in handling smart contracts, and has the potential to aid in achieving the circular economy objectives.

摘要

This research aims to develop and evaluate a framework to handle smart contracts that facilitates and enhances circular economy procedures by utilizing smart contracts to enhance transparency, efficiency, and traceability in supply and recycling chains. The framework simplifies blockchain engagement by enabling the creation, visualization, alteration, and deployment of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Designed to support users with limited blockchain experience, it offers tools that allow for interactive manipulation of visual models and direct data input. A survey was conducted among experts and people from the circular economy sector to see if the framework would be helpful in interacting with smart contracts. The findings indicate that the framework significantly enhances the level of confidence and proficiency of users in handling smart contracts, and has the potential to aid in achieving the circular economy objectives.
