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

Counterfeit goods enter the chain because origin claims are unverifiable paper certificates.
Brands want to prove ethical and sustainable sourcing without publishing their competitive supplier list.
Traceability data lives in supplier silos and cannot be assembled into one credible history on demand.
Recall and safety events are slow because the affected batch's full path cannot be reconstructed quickly.

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.
