In our previous article, we discussed the basics of blockchain technology and why it was chosen for the project. Now it is time to examine successful examples of how this technology is used in the fields of crafts and supply chain.

When we think of blockchain, most of us may think of cryptocurrencies, investment instruments or complex systems full of technical details. But what if this technology can enable transparent monitoring of handcrafted products, protect the labor of the producer and enable consumers to shop with confidence? This is exactly the question we have started a pilot project to address.

We believe that even complex concepts, when simplified, taught in an accessible and inclusive way, and with proper follow-up, can be applied effectively in day-to-day practice.

With TransparencyChain, we are not just developing and testing a blockchain-based provenance tracking platform: we are empowering craftspeople, small suppliers, and vocational educators, creating the tools they need to thrive in a digital age.

TransparencyChain is an Erasmus+ funded project aiming to make blockchain-based provenance tracking accessible to craftpeople from different backgrounds.
