Blockchain & Traceability

Minespider demonstrates Practical Interoperability, meaning that data from the British Columbia Government’s blockchain credentialing system would be pulled into a Minespider product passport; a credentialing system speaking with our traceability system.

Enabling Traceability in Raw Material Supply Chains with Physical Tracking Technologies.

Data is the basis of mining companies' operations. They essentially base their entire operations on data; geological and economic data to find out whether the operation is worthwhile in the first place; environmental data to monitor and mitigate impact; and financial data to keep investors up to date. Blockchain technology offers a tool to capture and communicate this data - with regulators, investors and the public - in a uniquely trustworthy and transparent way.

What are some of the advantages of blockchain for supply chains? Here we dive into the idea of an improved database, and the concepts of immutability, visibility and the verification of sustainability.

Learn how blockchain technology is a key enabler for the next generation of the circular economy, by giving companies and individuals the opportunity to fully understand and optimize their supply cycles.

Interoperability is the centre of many blockchain conversations at present. Why do people want interoperable systems? Why is it so hard? And what is the best option moving forward?

How do you make sure the materials you are tracking match the records, certificates or tokens on the blockchain?

We must design our blockchains to be infrastructures utilized by the masses, with incentives that actually motivate people. Only then can we hope to avoid an increasingly centralized future and realize the true disruptive potential that blockchain brings.
