Cardano and Blockforce Scale Supply Chain Verification to 500,000 Records

The architecture operates as a dual-layer system. Sensitive corporate information, such as supplier identities and pricing, remains on a restricted Hyperledger Fabric network. Simultaneously, the platform generates cryptographic proofs for each event, anchoring them to the Cardano blockchain. This allows auditors and regulators to verify that a specific record existed at a certain time and has not been altered, without exposing the underlying business data.

Azzas 2154, Latin America’s largest fashion group, is currently using this system to trace its leather supply chain. The company integrates fiscal documents and official government databases to build an auditable history, aiming for full traceability of its leather products by 2030. This push for transparency aligns with emerging European Union regulations, specifically the Digital Product Passports mandated by the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.

To manage enterprise-scale volumes, the partners implemented a batching process that reportedly reduced anchoring costs by 92%. While the 500,000 records currently in production represent a functional milestone, the project has set a more aggressive trajectory. Signed contracts between the companies cover 6.5 million certified records through 2030, with plans to expand the traceability framework into sectors including automotive manufacturing, agribusiness, and pharmaceuticals.
