Abstract: The United Nations introduced 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, which provide a blueprint for peace and prosperity for the people and planet. Within these, 8 goals can be achieved through the utilisation of blockchain technology. Thus, current research aims to identify trends in blockchain technology to achieve sustainable development. For this purpose, literature available in the current decade (2016 to 2025) was extracted from the Scopus database after systematic filtering and analysed using software such as RStudio, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel. The results of this research show that blockchain technology for sustainable development is growing and attracting increasing attention from researchers. Additionally, the study identified the domination of articles and conference papers; however, review articles have a significant influence. Based on this research, the authors suggest that future researchers continue their work, especially in qualitative studies on blockchain technology, to achieve sustainable development, bridge the gap between qualitative and quantitative research, and garner researchers' attention. Furthermore, researchers can focus on integrating blockchain technology into supply chain management, particularly in the agricultural sector, given its significant impact.
