Abstract:Blockchain technology is touted for democratizing supply chains, but 30–40% of smallholder farmers are excluded from fair market participation due to information gaps and power imbalances. The first complete empirical examination…
examination of blockchain's capacity to empower disadvantaged farmers in Global South agri-food systems. The paper examines 15 large-scale implementations, including Kenyan coffee cooperatives and Indian dairy collectives, using a rigorous mixed-methods methodology. Technical scalability in resource-limited situations, governance structures that promote meaningful multi-stakeholder engagement, and quantifiable inclusion results for small-scale farmers are thoroughly examined. Comparative case study, agent-based adoption modeling, and quasi-experimental effect evaluation by Propensity Score matching reveal that blockchain's potential is not automatic nor inherent in eight nations. Techno-institutional synergy, not technological complexity, improves democracy, the research shows. Hybrid governance systems with farmer-controlled validator nodes and tokenized decision-making rights enhanced smallholder involvement by 58% and premium retention by 78% over corporate-controlled systems. However, technologically sophisticated deployments without institutional expertise frequently increase power concentration and exclusion. The blockchain viability index helps identify optimal deployment conditions for different commodities, empirical evidence challenges the idea that decentralization automatically promotes inclusion, and the inclusion-by-design framework helps policymakers embed equitable principles into decentralized agri-tech from the start. This study shows food system digitization practitioners and scholars that genuine democratization occurs when technology drives institutional transformation.

database, this study evaluates scientific publications based on the number of documents, country contributions, institutional affiliations, keywords, and collaborative networks between authors. The analysis shows that the number of publications fluctuates, with a significant spike in 2024. China is the country with the highest contribution to publications, while contributions from Indonesia remain very minimal. In terms of affiliations, Chinese universities dominate scientific production in this field. Network visualization shows that collaboration between researchers remains low and fragmented. The most dominant keywords are decentralization, blockchain, and performance evaluation, which form several research clusters that show links to financial management and public policy topics. These findings indicate the need to increase the involvement of Indonesian researchers and strengthen global collaborative networks on the topic of decentralization and performance evaluation.

electronic audit, and audit governance in improving the effectiveness of internal control and mitigating fraud risks. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by analyzing various scientific literature relevant to the research topic. The results show that independent internal audit, the use of electronic audit technologies such as Big Data Analytics and Blockchain, and audit governance through Whistleblowing Systems and AI Governance have a synergistic relationship in strengthening organizational oversight systems. The integration of these three aspects can improve the effectiveness of fraud detection, maintain the integrity of audit data, and strengthen organizational transparency and accountability. This study provides a conceptual contribution in the form of a digital-based integrated oversight model as a strategy for strengthening internal control in the era of digital transformation.

sations are running smoothly and safely. This means audits need to be able to watch over control and manage risks properly. This is very important for organisations to achieve their goals. Stopping fraud is about finding and preventing actions that can hurt the organisation. This research is trying to figure out how digital transformation affects audits and stopping fraud. The researchers used a method called a 'systematic literature review'. This research is about describing things in detail. They got their information from international journals. They used Google Scholar, Scopus and Sinta to find articles from 2022 to 2025. What they found out is that technology like intelligence looking at data, blockchain, robotic process automation and electronic auditing can make internal audits better. These technologies can also make things more transparent. Help stop fraud. However, digital transformation is not easy to do. There are some problems, like auditors not being good enough with technology risks to cybersecurity and organisations not being ready. Digital transformation and internal audits are. Digital transformation can affect fraud prevention. Digital transformation is important for organisations. It can help with internal audits and fraud prevention.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze and formulate a concept of Islamic legal protection for crypto investors in responding to the dynamics of digital crimes within virtual currency transactions. Departing from the rapid development…
nt of blockchain technology and the recognition of crypto assets as tradable commodities in Indonesia, this research identifies a normative ambiguity between positive law and religious fatwas, particularly concerning the permissibility and legal legitimacy of cryptocurrencies from a sharia perspective. The inherent characteristics of crypto assets-namely volatility, speculative tendencies, and vulnerability to digital crimes such as hacking, fraud, market manipulation, and money laundering-generate significant risks for Muslim investors. Within the framework of fiqh al-muʿāmalāt and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, especially the principle of ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of wealth), this study asserts that investor protection constitutes not merely a regulatory necessity but an integral dimension of the higher objectives of Islamic law in safeguarding justice, transparency, and economic welfare. Methodologically, this research employs a normative-maqāṣidī approach through an interdisciplinary analysis integrating Islamic jurisprudence, national positive law, and the study of digital financial technology. The focus of the inquiry is directed toward identifying the typologies of digital crimes within the crypto ecosystem, evaluating the effectiveness of national regulations and religious fatwas, and formulating a model of Islamic legal protection that is preventive, corrective, and educational in nature. The expected outcome of this dissertation is the construction of a conceptual framework of ḥimāyah al-mustatsmir (investor protection) grounded in maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, adaptive to the digital era, and strengthened through synergy among the state, financial authorities, and fatwa institutions. Accordingly, this study contributes not only to the advancement of contemporary fiqh al-muʿāmalāt discourse but also offers an applicable normative framework for the development of a secure, equitable, and sustainable sharia-based digital economic system.

nd the efforts in mitigation and cyber risk management in Indonesia. According to data from the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) for the period 2019 to 2023, the number of incidents increased significantly from 290,000 cases in 2019 to 1,031,389 cases in 2023. The dominant types of cybercrime shifted each year, starting with phishing in 2019, malware in 2020, ransomware in 2021, DDoS attacks in 2022, and data breaches in 2023. This surge in incidents reflects the growing complexity of cyber threats faced by various sectors in Indonesia. In response, the government and private sector have strengthened regulations through the enactment of the Personal Data Protection Law and have adopted technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain to enhance detection and prevention of cyberattacks. Effective cyber risk management requires integrated preventive, detective, and corrective measures to safeguard information systems and sensitive data from increasingly sophisticated attacks. Through collaboration among the government, private sector, and the public, Indonesia’s digital ecosystem is expected to become more secure and resilient in the face of cybercrime threats..

itcoin menawarkan manfaat seperti transparansi, efisiensi, dan akses keuangan yang lebih luas, terutama di tingkat global. Namun, tantangan besar muncul berupa volatilitas harga yang ekstrem, spekulasi yang berlebihan, dan potensi manipulasi yang sering kali menimbulkan risiko besar bagi para pelaku transaksi. Dalam konteks Islam, prinsip keadilan, kejujuran, dan transparansi menjadi landasan utama dalam aktivitas ekonomi yang bertujuan menciptakan transaksi yang diberkahi dan tidak merugikan pihak mana pun, sebagaimana ditegaskan dalam hadis Al-Bukhari No. 2079.Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi literatur untuk menganalisis relevansi nilai-nilai etika dalam hadis tersebut terhadap aktivitas ekonomi digital modern. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun Bitcoin dan trading digital memiliki potensi manfaat besar, penggunaannya sering melibatkan unsur-unsur yang dilarang dalam syariah, seperti gharar (ketidakpastian), riba (bunga), dan maysir (perjudian). Pengintegrasian nilai-nilai Islam, seperti keterbukaan dan keadilan, menjadi langkah penting untuk menciptakan ekosistem ekonomi digital yang lebih etis dan berkelanjutan. Teknologi seperti smart contracts dapat membantu menjaga transparansi dan meminimalkan ketidakpastian, tetapi tantangan seperti regulasi yang kurang memadai dan sifat transaksi yang anonim masih membutuhkan perhatian khusus. Hadis Al-Bukhari No. 2079 memberikan panduan moral yang relevan untuk memastikan bahwa aktivitas ekonomi digital berjalan sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip Islam, mendukung keadilan, dan melindungi pelaku ekonomi dari risiko yang tidak diinginkan. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya penerapan prinsip-prinsip syariah dalam membangun sistem ekonomi digital yang adil, transparan, dan seimbang.
