Abstract
This study presents the design and evaluation of a secure data transmission system for supply chain management (SCM) based on the Proof-of-Friendship (PoF) blockchain consensus mechanism. The proposed model integrates geo-location, transaction success rate, and energy source as core validator selection parameters, enabling trust, performance, and sustainability within decentralized logistics networks. By combining blockchain technology, smart contracts, and IoT-enabled traceability, the system enhances data integrity, reduces latency, and minimizes environmental impact. Simulation results demonstrate that the PoF-based system achieves up to 40% reduction in unauthorized interference and 35–40% improvement in transaction confirmation times compared with traditional consensus algorithms. The research contributes to the development of transparent, energy-efficient, and resilient blockchain architectures for next-generation supply chain ecosystems.
