Digital Product Passport on blockchain
The EU ESPR regulation makes product transparency mandatory. A passport locked in one vendor’s database will not outlive the product it describes.
Where centralised systems fall short
Vendor lock-in
Proprietary databases are a single point of failure and control how long your data survives.
Data silos
Limited interoperability and high costs to connect third-party solutions outside the vendor’s closed ecosystem.
Adoption complexity
Slow integration with existing ERPs and poor crypto user experience for factory workers.
What a decentralised design adds
Immutable compliance
Blockchain notarisation gives immutable proof and permanence across the whole product lifecycle, over 30 years and more.
EVM interoperability
An architecture on the EVM that can be integrated with any major chain or system, so the passport is not tied to a proprietary platform.
Frictionless integration
Automated, gasless data logging designed for the factory floor, connecting ERP and WMS systems to Web3 data standards.
What I have delivered
I led the business analysis and functional design of the Digital Product Passport demonstrator of the DigitalWallonia4Trust programme, combining blockchain and decentralised cloud storage, aligned with CIRPASS and GS1 standards and using verifiable identities (DID). I also produced the 2025 regulatory analysis on ESPR, mandatory from 2027.
