Scientists and policymakers study Blockchain traceability to understand both benefits and risks. The author explains that shared ledgers record transactions so each handoff can be audited.

An illustration of this is that some supply chains scan QR codes at farms, factories, and warehouses. In response, some groups are linking digital records to physical goods through tags and verification steps.
