A STRONG FOUNDATIONThe Three Pillars of TransparencyThe Three Pillars of Transparency are essential to securely track physical assets. The data origin guarantee helps ensure that the stored data is accurate and verifiable. The data immutability ensures the data stored on the blockchain is secure and immutable, preventing any tampering or manipulation of the data. Finally, the data can be audited publicly allowing anyone to audit the records on the blockchain, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the data. These pillars are essential for GramChain to provide trust and accountability in the tracking of physical assets on the blockchain.
The asset to be scanned and recorded by the vault.
The asset to be assigned to the lender by the vault to lock the asset.
An independent parcel appraisal by a service provider to ensure the asset is genuine and liquid.
