Introduction: Blockchain is an advanced technology that ensures a high level of data transparency and security by utilizing a distributed mechanism in storing and managing data. While currently blockchain is mostly utilized to facilitate cryptocurrency transactions due to its capability in securing data, blockchain also has the potential to store and manage various data, including government data. This research aims to reflect in the literature on trends in the application of blockchain technology in citizen data management and e-Government systems, focusing on trends, architectural design and the sector of the implementation of this technology. This research will also investigate data integrity and population accountability. This study seeks to provide insight into the challenges and application of blockchain technology in governance systems through several research questions.Methods: The PRISM method is used as a guide for conducting literature review analysis starting from defining literature eligibility criteria, defining information sources, conducting filtering, and data analysis.Results: Based on the results of the literature review, several previous studies have integrated Blockchain with IoT to increase supply chain transparency. Meanwhile, in e-government systems, several Blockchain implementations are used for decentralized identity verification to ensure the integrity and privacy of demographic data.Conclusions: Previous research shows that Blockchain technology has the potential to improve efficiency, security and transparency in various fields, especially in data management and governance.
