Purpose of Study: To explore the transformative impact of blockchain technology on zakat management, focusing on its implementation by LAZNAS BMH-Indonesia’s pioneering zakat institution to adopt this innovation.
Design/methodology/approach: Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the research reveals that blockchain significantly enhances transparency, operational efficiency, and donor trust through immutable records, real-time reporting, and automated distribution via smart contracts.
Finding: The finding shows positive perception among donors and beneficiaries, who value traceability, fairness, and speed. Furthermore, qualitative insights emphasize the importance of user education and inclusive design for broader adoption. While a visible gap remains between donations and disbursements, this reflects structured programmatic workflows rather than inefficiency.
