description Blockchain technology, which is impossible for people and businesses to ignore and brings great changes at the sectors where it is used, contributes to the solution of many problems at businesses. However, it has not been applied in the field of supply chain and logistics to the expected extent and there are the limited number of studies in the literature on this subject compared to other fields. In this context, the aim of the study is to explain blockchain technology in detail, to ensure that the technology is fully recognized, to create awareness on businesses by explaining its benefits with examples of use in supply chain and logistics activities, and to contribute to later researchers by identifying the gaps in the literature by analyzing the literature. As a result of the exploratory research, it was determined that blockchain technology contributes to the solution of many problems, especially reliability, cost, flexibility, delays, transparency, and low performance. Considering the result of the literature analysis, it has been concluded that academic studies on blockchain technology in the field of supply chain and logistics are not sufficient, and the number of these studies should be increased in order for the technology to be learned and used by more businesses in the relevant field.
