The Cardano Foundation and Blockforce have launched a supply chain verification system for Brazilian exporters to comply with EU deforestation and sustainability regulations. The system has already anchored over 500,000 records on the Cardano blockchain.
The first major implementation is with Azzas 2154, Latin America's largest fashion conglomerate. The company uses the platform to track its leather supply chain across more than 6,200 suppliers, having already processed over 95,000 invoices in production.
The architecture utilizes a dual-ledger approach. Commercially sensitive data, such as pricing and supplier identities, is stored on a permissioned Hyperledger Fabric network, while the public Cardano blockchain stores only cryptographic proofs for independent verification by EU auditors.
Blockforce implemented the uVerify batching protocol, which reduced per-record anchoring costs by 92%. The current contract stipulates the anchoring of 6.5 million records by 2030.
The partnership plans to expand the system's application beyond the fashion industry into the automotive and pharmaceutical supply chains.
