N2 - Blockchain is considered a disruptive technology with the potential to cause socioeconomic transformation in developing and emerging economies. In this preliminary study, we conducted a review of papers dealing with Blockchain for development published by 2019. These were issued in various outlets such as journals, conference proceedings, and professional magazines. We also caught some gray literature, such as press releases and reports. Initially, we found 288 papers, but after an evaluation of relevance and removing duplicates, we ended up with 35 articles. We examined the research focus taking into consideration such aspects as understanding of development, Blockchain use, type of contribution, and themes investigated in the papers. We also analyzed the research scope understood as country or region of inquiry. Based on the analysis, we discerned opportunities and challenges of Blockchain for development and gaps and opportunities for future research.
