Designing a blockchain-based information system for procurement processes - Balancing decentralization, scalability, and security while maintaining privacy

The paper designs a blockchain-based procurement IS that navigates the blockchain trilemma while preserving privacy, deriving two design principles: balance decentralization, scalability and security via a public chain plus Layer-2 scaling and decentralized inter-layer communication; and maintain that balance when privacy is required via efficient, resilient cryptography and minimized control points.
