DEVELOPMENT OF A DISTRIBUTED SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT MODEL USING ZK-ROLLUPS TO ENHANCE SCALABILITY AND DATA PRIVACY

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the development and justification of a distributed supply chain management model using ZK-Rollups technology, aimed at enhancing system scalability and ensuring the protection of confidential data. The relevance of the topic is driven by the need to optimize logistics processes in multi-level supply networks, where transparency, efficiency, and security of interactions between participants are of critical importance. The research methodology includes a comprehensive analysis of blockchain solutions in the logistics sector, as well as an in-depth study of decentralized mechanisms for ensuring data privacy. The findings highlight the potential of ZK-Rollups in creating highly scalable decentralized networks capable of processing large transaction volumes without revealing confidential information. Special attention is given to the transaction "roll-up" mechanism, which reduces computational costs and fees while maintaining high throughput. The practical contribution of the study lies in recommendations for implementing this approach in enterprises seeking to enhance supply chain transparency and minimize fraud risks and behaviour. The practical value of the results is significant for logistics managers and IT specialists searching for new ways to ensure seamless and secure interactions in supply chains. The developed model provides a strategic vision for the application of decentralized solutions, particularly blockchain technology and ZK-Rollups, to optimize costs, accelerate processes, and mitigate operational and other risks. The research findings indicate the prospects of combining public and private ledgers to maintain an innovative balance between transparency and confidentiality while emphasizing the importance of standards and regulatory frameworks for global scalability. The generalized recommendations for integrating ZK-Rollups and decentralized management principles may serve as a foundation for building sustainable logistics ecosystems and enhancing competitiveness in rapidly changing market conditions.
