Provenance Tracking on PYRAX
Provenance tracking proves where a product and its inputs came from - critical for luxury goods, ethical sourcing, food safety, and anti-counterfeiting. Buyers and regulators increasingly demand verifiable origin without brands exposing their full supplier network. PYRAX lets a product carry a portable, verifiable history while keeping supplier identities and prices confidential.

What's broken today
How PYRAX transforms it
Concrete network elements mapped to this business.
Shielded-by-default transfers
Each tier-to-tier handoff proves the input is authentic and compliant while hiding the supplier's identity and the transacted price, protecting the sourcing strategy.
eth_getProof verifiable origin
A consumer or customs officer scans a product and independently verifies a Merkle proof that it originated from a certified farm, mine, or mill - no trust in the brand's database required.
Multi-VM smart contracts
Certification rules (organic, fair-trade, conflict-free) are encoded as portable contracts that any downstream party can execute across EVM, WASM, and Cairo.
Viewing keys for auditors
A sustainability certifier gets a scoped viewing key to inspect the full supplier chain for an audit while the public only sees the verified claim, not the suppliers.
The mixnet
Suppliers submit origin attestations through the mixnet so participation and volumes are not correlatable by observers, preserving confidentiality in competitive sourcing markets.
