Cardano anchors 500,000 supply chain records

The Cardano Foundation and Brazilian technology company Blockforce announced on Aug. 31 that Cardano now operates as the public verification layer for an enterprise supply chain platform. Summary Cardano now anchors cryptographic proofs for more than 500,000 supply chain records already in production. Confidential records remain permissioned while public Cardano proofs allow independent verification without exposing underlying data. Joint engineering reduced public anchoring costs per record by 92%, according to the project partners. Azzas 2154 uses the system to trace leather using supplier, fiscal and government database records. Signed contracts cover 6.5 million certified records through 2030, with expansion planned across additional industries. The system has anchored cryptographic proofs for more than 500,000 records, according to the partners’ announcement. It is already operating with major Brazilian fashion companies, including Azzas 2154. The companies described the deployment as a dual-ledger architecture. Commercial records remain on a restricted network, while corresponding proofs are recorded on Cardano’s public blockchain. Cardano separates confidential records from ...
