Blockchain as a digital governance tool: A systematic review
Abstract
This systematic review explores the implementation of blockchain technology as a digital governance tool, focusing specifically on the Peruvian context. In the digital transformation era, blockchain has established itself as an innovative solution to manage and authenticate information. This research focuses on optimizing administrative and governmental processes in Peru, a country where document verification is crucial in legal, financial, educational, and medical procedures. The methodology used follows the problem/population, intervention, comparison, outcome, context (PICOC) model. 56 high-impact articles were selected in Scopus, prioritizing those in the areas of engineering, computer science, and business, and published between 2022 and 2025. The objective was to define the scope and structure of the research questions. These questions address the implementation of blockchain and its applications in digital governance to ensure security and reliability in administrative procedures. Through a comprehensive literature review, we seek to provide a comprehensive view of how blockchain could transform the interaction between citizens and the Peruvian government by automating document verification. In addition, successful cases from other countries and similar sectors will be analyzed, evaluating their feasibility and applicability in the Peruvian context. This approach will allow us to identify both the potential benefits and the challenges and implications associated with the integration of blockchain into government processes in Perú.
