Every product, every batch, every shipment — its own immutable chain. Cryptographic proof from farm to fork.
A fundamentally different approach to supply chain tracking — every entity IS its own blockchain.
Each step = a transaction on the product's chain — immutable, auditable, encrypted where needed
Not just another blockchain for supply chain — a purpose-built protocol where traceability is a first-class primitive.
No separate audit database needed. Every transaction on a product's chain is the audit trail. Immutable by design, queryable by default.
Bulk provisioning of constrained sensors — BLE, LoRa, Modbus. Native gateway handles protocol translation. No middleware needed.
Per-field AES-256-GCM encryption. Share compliance data with regulators while keeping supplier pricing confidential. Granular, not all-or-nothing.
Auto-purge built into the protocol — hash preserved for integrity, payload destroyed after retention period. No manual intervention required.
Events push to existing enterprise systems via WebSocket, MQTT, Kafka, and AMQP. No polling, no delays — instant visibility across the chain.
Share data between organizations through native cross-network gateways — without exposing internals or competitive intelligence.

ATSHI's traceability is not theoretical. Two production tools already use Transaction Chains as their native backbone — from batch creation to consumer QR scan.
ULTIM ERP writes every batch record, quality check, and shipment directly to ATSHI Transaction Chains — no middleware, no sync lag, no data reconciliation. Each ERP batch automatically creates an on-chain lot chain with full production metadata: plant, production line, quality grade, lab results, temperature logs.
ULTIM TRUST is the dedicated platform for defining GS1 Digital Link pages and configuring NFC NTAG424 authentication. Product information, traceability dashboards, certifications, recall notices, anti-counterfeiting — all designed in ULTIM TRUST and published directly on-chain.
Bovalim feed traceability data is cross-referenced on-chain — lot chains link directly to feed origin chains for complete farm-to-fork provenance. Regulatory data (lab results, certifications, recall status) is pushed in real-time — inspectors can scan any product and see up-to-the-minute status.
Batch created → Transaction Chain auto-generated with full production metadata
GS1 Digital Link page designed + NFC NTAG424 configured → published on-chain
Scan QR or tap NFC → full on-chain history: origin, processing, certifications
Every batch of artisanal Terrine de Sanglier by Nemrod carries a GS1 QR code linking to its full on-chain history — origin, processing, quality, certifications.
Every QR code scan resolves directly on-chain. No centralized resolver, no single point of failure, no trust delegation. Conforms to GS1 Resolver Community Standard v1.2.0.
Product data, linksets, routing rules, and rendering templates are stored entirely on-chain. The resolver uses a two-level chain hierarchy — Product chain (GTIN) and Lot chain (GTIN + Lot) — with deterministic address derivation. Only the GCP-registered product owner can create or update chains, enforced cryptographically at protocol level.
Routing rules support context-aware resolution (consumer vs B2B vs regulatory), language-based targeting, geo-targeting, and time-windowed rules. Responses follow RFC 9264 Linkset format — product info, traceability dashboards, recall notices, certifications all accessible from one QR scan. A GS1 Registry Contract on-chain serves as the trust anchor mapping Company Prefixes to ATSHI addresses.
QR code scanned. URI parsed — GTIN, lot number, and optional serial extracted per GS1 Digital Link URI Syntax v1.2.
Chain addresses derived deterministically: hash("gs1:01/{gtin}/10/{lot}"). Product + lot data fetched and merged.
GCP ownership verified via the on-chain Registry Contract. Lot chain parentage and creator key validated.
Routing rules evaluate context, language, geo. First match wins — selects the right destination link from the linkset.
RFC 9264 linkset JSON, 303 redirect to best match, or server-side rendered HTML via ATSHI Web Handlebars templates.
ETags from tx hashes. Smart Contract Events trigger proactive cache purge — recall notices propagate in seconds.
Every supply chain event captured in the four EPCIS dimensions — What, Where, When, Why — written natively to ATSHI Transaction Chains.
EPCIS 2.0 uses JSON-LD natively, mapping directly to ATSHI's structured data schemas validated at consensus. Core Business Vocabulary (CBV) 2.0 provides standardized business steps (commissioning, shipping, receiving, destroying) and dispositions (in_transit, in_progress, recalled). Events written to product/lot chains trigger real-time notifications via WebSocket, MQTT, Kafka, AMQP.
Per-field AES-256-GCM encryption means an EPCIS event can have public traceability data alongside encrypted business-sensitive fields. Combined with GS1 Digital Link: one QR code, full event history from farm to shelf. Meets regulatory requirements for EU FMD (pharma), EU food safety, and US FSMA 204.
Commissioning, observation, inspection — tracking individual items or batches through each step of the supply chain.
Packing items into cases, cases onto pallets — parent/child relationships recorded immutably on-chain.
Wild boar meat → Terrine de Sanglier — input/output linkage with full ingredient traceability.
Purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices — business documents linked to physical goods on-chain.
Each EPCIS event = a transaction on the product's chain — immutable, timestamped, selectively encrypted
Two GS1 standards, one blockchain. The QR code is the entry point, EPCIS events are the data.
| Capability | Centralized Resolver + DB | ATSHI Native |

| Digital Link resolver | Centralized SaaS | Decentralized, on-chain |
| EPCIS event storage | SQL/NoSQL database | Transaction Chains (immutable) |
| Data ownership | Platform operator | Product owner (cryptographic) |
| Audit trail | Application-level logs | Protocol-level (every tx = audit entry) |
| Selective privacy | All-or-nothing | Per-field AES-256-GCM |
| Recall propagation | Webhook delays | Real-time (Smart Contract Events) |

Every product deserves its own immutable history. Start building end-to-end traceability with ATSHI's native Transaction Chains, IoT gateway, and enterprise SDK.
