This article aimed to analyze the legal foundations and operational challenges associated with the application of blockchain technology in Brazilian public administration, focusing on its use as an instrument of institutional integrity. The study specifically addressed the potential of blockchain to enhance transparency, ensure traceability of administrative acts, and prevent corruption in public procurement. The methodology consisted of a qualitative bibliographic review, based on the selection and analysis of recent scientific articles from the SciELO database, using thematic relevance and publication recency as inclusion criteria. The findings indicated that blockchain provides technical conditions to strengthen public oversight and reduce administrative opacity, particularly through process automation and decentralization. However, the implementation of the technology faces significant legal, structural, and federative barriers, especially at the municipal level. It was concluded that the effectiveness of blockchain as an infrastructure for public integrity depends on the articulation of legal regulation, technical interoperability, and institutional capacity, in addition to overcoming risks related to technological capture and private governance of digital systems.
