CONNECTED EVIDENCE
Keep the record, source, status, and supporting evidence connected.
DPS uses a hybrid architecture so the appropriate evidence can remain controlled while selected verification information is independently checkable.
Participant Identity
Verified organizations and attributable sources participating in the trade record.
Product & Origin
Product identifiers, origin information, certificates, and supporting documentation.
Shipment & Custody
Movement, carrier, handoff, custody, and delivery-linked events.
Verification Evidence
Status, selected public blockchain evidence, and approved public or enterprise access.
SIGNAL CLARITY
Keep each verification signal clear and useful.
Different records establish different kinds of evidence. DPS keeps those signals distinct while allowing them to connect in one workflow.
| Signal / workflow | What DPS records or connects | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Participant identity | Verified organization and source records | Keeps contributions attributable |
| Product & origin | Product identity and supporting origin evidence | Connects the item to its source records |
| Documents & certificates | Issuer-linked trade and certificate records | Keeps supporting evidence associated |
| Shipment & custody | Movement, handoff and delivery-linked events | Builds a cross-border event history |
