Business Overview Illustration

Blockchain technology will improve the way food is tracked, transported or sold. By preserving every digital record of the transaction, blockchain could overcome faultiness caused by traditional paper-based records.

The main goal is to create an immutable record of business transactions, distributed among multiple computers so as to prevent tampering with the data.

Our strategy was to reduce complexity, minimize costs and errors, and improve security. To prevent malicious parties from altering the ingredients of food.

The Challenge

A food supply chain industry is a complex industry where a huge amount of data is generated, acquired, and distributed on a regular basis. Storing and circulating such sensitive data is significantly challenging.

To develop a high level of encryption to stop all digital identity theft so such huge data. Anyone can verify necessary credentials.

The critical part was to create a protocol that provides smart contract functionality in blockchain and is used parallel to manage the supply chain.

Our Approach

We developed a blockchain peer-to-peer system without a trusted third party: transaction validation and decision-making are decentralized. The data recorded on a blockchain is distributed among all the nodes in the network and it is unalterable.We created an open-source protocol. All transactions are visible and traceable within the blockchain, thus maintaining the complete history of all executed instructions. We developed a protocol that provides smart contract functionality in blockchain and is used parallel to manage the supply chain. Ethereum resulted in quicker transactions, as compared to bitcoin, and hence the derived conclusion proposed the use of Ethereum smart contracts for transparency of data management systems in the food supply chain.
