How it works
Features
The platform will work as a marketplace for producers, vendors, certification entities and consulting companies to offer and access services, share with security all needed information and digitalise the process of certification, as well as all interactions between entities.

Trust and Transparency
Blockchain stores immutable data on all stages of the product.
02
Swift asset transfer
Without intermediaries, the transactions become faster and easier to process.
03
Smart Contracts
Decentralized and autorun contracts compliant with the terms set by each entity.
04
Faster Transaction Flow
Smart contracts reduce the time for requests and certification.
05
Fraud Detection and Prevention
Smart Contracts provide fraud alerts from the beginning of the transaction.
