A
blockchain-based
system and method for verifying Certificates of
Authentication (COAs) in supply chain management is disclosed, adhering to ASTM D8558-24 guidelines and relevant
ISO standards including ISO / IEC 27001, ISO 28000, and ISO 9001. The
system utilizes a custom Layer 1 (L1)
blockchain built on the Avalanche platform, implementing a dual-token model to create, manage, and verify COAs as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). It features AI-powered
authentication, enhanced security measures, and a data marketplace for monetizing authenticated supply chain data. The
system offers improved
scalability, customization for various industries, and facilitates both B2B and B2C transactions. With cross-chain communication capabilities and integration with existing supply chain systems, the invention addresses environmental and social considerations while providing comprehensive
interoperability. This solution aims to revolutionize supply chain
authentication, offering enhanced transparency, efficiency, and trust in global trade, all while maintaining compliance with international standards for security, quality, and supply chain management.
