OriginTrail is a neutral web3 protocol for organizing your most important assets - making them discoverable and verifiable using a decentralized knowledge graph and blockchain technology.
Organize, discover and verify anything - from physical to digital assets. The Decentralized Knowledge Graph allows data assets (like in supply chains, art, diplomas, certificates, NFTs, DeFi, and more) to be structured, linked, persistent, and understandable.
Data silos and low data interoperability create major technical challenges for providers that want to build collaborative applications, especially for organisations that want to establish end-to-end supply chain transparency.
Existing blockchain solutions are expensive when it comes to data operations and lack adequate database properties. Any solution wishing to integrate blockchain needs to overcome the problem of handling interoperable data and the high cost.
Current attempts to overcome data silos are done by aggregating data in a centralized way, prompting concerns about data integrity and omitting accountability. Centralization also allows for possible data tampering and collusion between parties.
Companies are often reluctant to exchange data with other companies as they are concerned this might undermine their competitive position. Exchange of data is often enforced by power asymmetry or done because of regulatory reasons.
The OriginTrail protocol is used by organizations of all shapes and sizes for building every kind of application imaginable that requires trust, data integrity and interoperability.

The OriginTrail Decentralized Network (ODN) is a global peer-to-peer network that is permissionless and decentralized. The protocol combines knowledge graph and blockchain technology and is build with interoperability and global standards in mind.
The $TRAC token is a means of compensation between data creators, data holders, and data consumers. It uses an innovative staking system to keep all parties honest. Nodes are therefore incentivized for performing consensus checks and delivering data on demand.
An entity that publishes ERP or other data to the OriginTrail Decentralized Network (ODN)
An entity that is responsible for correctly importing the data from the data provider
An entity that commits to storing and holding the data for a certain period of time
An entity that requests data from any of the available nodes in the ODN network
OriginTrail already powers trusted data exchange in different industries - including Fortune 500 companies - bringing value to users and companies around the world.
BSI is using the OriginTrail protocol to safeguard the validity of issued training certificates and business standards. OriginTrail-based applications developed for BSI enable quick validity checks for any document by cross-referencing trusted data. This data is stored on the OriginTrail Decentralized Network, which is connected to the Ethereum blockchain.
Ensuring the safety of train travel by tracking every piece of rail track material used by the Swiss Federal Railways. SBB is looking to move beyond the state of the art to ensure real-time availability of quality traceability information for individual parts involved in their systems to deliver one of the world's most reliable rail journeys.
Trusted Bytes aims to use innovative digital technology to facilitate the flow of goods across the UK border, increasing efficiency, transparency, and security of the UK food sector. This will help to create proof of food provenance by digitizing critical border transfer processes while also providing seamless real-time digital connectivity to supply chain operators.
The OriginTrail protocol is helping with the digital transformation of the European countryside. European agriculture is on its way to become smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable through continuous digital innovation and research. As part of this digital agricultural revolution, the OriginTrail protocol is supporting several trusted agri-food supply chain solutions within Europe-wide research and innovation consortia.
BSI and SCAN are utilizing the OriginTrail protocol to ensure the integrity of security audits for some of the largest US importers. Today, SCAN has more than 21,300 factories in its database, with several hundred new audits conducted monthly. All of the audits are secured utilizing the OriginTrail Decentralized Network and comply with SCAN's rigorous data privacy requirements. With flexible data permissions, the solution enables SCAN to share data with government agencies such as CTPAT.
AidTrust brings visibility and trust to the distribution of donated medicines. Bringing together BSI's global footprint, expertise in management systems and supply chain risk management best practice, with the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph developed by our technology partner Trace Labs, AidTrust enables visibility, risk flags, real-time decision-making, while maintaining data integrity, security and privacy, on all medicines at all stages of the supply chain.
“The early Metcalfe's Law talked about the connection of machines and how valuable PCs would be connected, Facebook made it all about connecting people together, what OriginTrail is working on is connectivity of data and the value that can be derived from that.”
OriginTrail is not a company. It is an ecosystem in which everyone can contribute. We are connected on so many levels. Let's collaborate, learn, contribute, and spread the word. Together.
