<p class="reference">The opportunity</p>
<h2 class="heading-deco terciary">Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize supply chain management and ensure traceability.</h2>
<p class="txt">Blockchain technology allows for the tracing of each product and enhances supply chain transparency, presenting a unique opportunity to revolutionize the traceability of seafood, combat the threat of illegal fishing, and ensure food safety. With this opportunity in mind, the project focuses on creating a blockchain-based infrastructure through the use of three main technologies:</p>
<ul class="arrows-list">
    <li>Verifiable Credentials (VCs): to register, present, and formalize claims held by actors on the platform.</li>
    <li>QR Codes: To identify each individual king crab.     </li>
    <li>Blockchain Ledger: Using the time-stamping API to create an audit trail and provenance of products.</li>
</ul>

<p class="reference">The project</p>
<h2 class="heading-deco terciary">Building the foundation of traceable seafood supply-chain infrastructure.</h2>
<p class="txt">The Europen Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) allows the Seafood Tracing project to design, build, and operate the next generation of seafood supply-chain services for the benefit of EU economies. The Seafood Tracing project aligns with the EU's digital policy and circular economy goals, aiming to develop traceability system capabilities by 2028 using the Digital Product Passport (DPP). Within this context, EBSI is used as the trust model to issue and verify verifiable credentials, issue QR codes to each individual product, and register on the ledger supply chain events.</p>
<p>EBSI allows this project to operate the next generation of decentralized tracing services with the objective of building an infrastructure designed to:</p>

<ul class="arrows-list">
    <li>Allow authorities to verify the catch certificate of seafood in the market.</li>
    <li>Allow the exchange of information between fisheries, law enforcement authorities, and other stakeholders.</li>
    <li>A peer-to-peer API model with blockchain time-stamping and notarization service, creating an audit trail detailing the history and provenance of shipments, storage, and trading. </li>
</ul>
