Strategy
Designing a Blockchain-Based Supply Chain for Organic Cotton
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Your task is to propose a blockchain-based supply chain solution for GreenWeave. You need to select an appropriate blockchain (public vs. private), define data to be recorded at each stage (e.g., farm, ginning, spinning, weaving, retail), and design a governance model for data input and verification. Consider the constraints of low-tech farmers (e.g., use of QR codes, SMS). Success means delivering a feasible design that enhances trust and enables consumers to verify product claims via a mobile app.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design a blockchain-based traceability system for organic cotton supply chain that ensures authenticity, supports smallholder farmers, and meets consumer transparency expectations.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Evaluate blockchain suitability for supply chain traceability
- Design a decentralized application (DApp) for multi-stakeholder data sharing
- Understand tokenization and its role in incentivizing data submission
- Analyze trade-offs between transparency, privacy, and scalability
- Apply blockchain concepts to a real-world industry with non-digital constraints
