英文摘要：
  Supply chains lend themselves to blockchain technology, but certain challenges remain, especially around invoice financing. For example, the further a supplier is removed from the final consumer product, the more difficult it is to get their invoices financed. Moreover, for competitive reasons, retailers and manufacturers do not want to disclose their supply chains. However, upstream suppliers need to prove that they are part of a `stable\' supply chain to get their invoices financed, which presents the upstream suppliers with huge, and often unsurmountable, obstacles to get the necessary finance to fulfil the next order, or to expand their business. Using a fictitious supply chain use case, which is based on a real world use case, we demonstrate how these challenges have the potential to be solved by combining more advanced and specialised blockchain technologies with other technologies such as Artificial Intelligence. We describe how atomic crosschain functionality can be utilised across private blockchains to retrieve the information required for an invoice financier to make informed decisions under uncertainty, and consider the effect this decision has on the overall stability of the supply chain.

中文摘要：
供应链有利于区块链技术，但仍存在某些挑战，尤其是在发票融资方面。例如，供应商离最终消费品越远，就越难获得发票融资。此外，出于竞争原因，零售商和制造商不想披露其供应链。然而，上游供应商需要证明他们是“稳定”供应链的一部分，才能获得发票融资，这给上游供应商带来了巨大的障碍，往往无法克服，无法获得必要的资金来完成下一个订单或扩大业务。利用基于真实世界用例的虚拟供应链用例，我们展示了如何通过将更先进和专业的区块链技术与人工智能等其他技术相结合来解决这些挑战。我们描述了如何跨私有区块链利用原子交叉链功能来检索发票融资人在不确定情况下做出知情决策所需的信息，并考虑该决策对供应链整体稳定性的影响。
