UNISOT — Blockchain and AI Powered Supply Chain Transparency for Food

UNISOT — Blockchain and AI Powered Supply Chain Transparency for Food

Global food supply chains face escalating threats from fraud, mislabelling and opaque sourcing practices that erode consumer trust and expose businesses to compliance risk. UNISOT leverages the BSV blockchain and artificial intelligence to deliver end-to-end traceability across agricultural supply chains, linking farms, processors, exporters and retailers through immutable, verifiable data. From Norwegian seafood to EU agri-food exports, UNISOT enables organisations of all sizes to prove origin, respond to recalls instantly and meet stringent regulatory requirements with confidence.

The Challenge

Executives managing agricultural supply chains face structural vulnerabilities that legacy systems cannot address:


Fragmented traceability

  • Siloed systems across farms, cooperatives, processors and distributors prevent visibility beyond first-tier suppliers.


Food fraud and mislabelling

  • Opaque sourcing makes it difficult to verify origin, production methods and sustainability claims, creating opportunities for fraud.


Slow recall response

  • Manual reconciliation between multiple parties delays product recalls, extending consumer risk and increasing financial exposure.


Regulatory burden

  • EU Digital Product Passport requirements and food safety regulations demand verifiable lifecycle data across all supply chain participants.


Trust deficit

  • Consumers and retailers increasingly question sustainability and quality claims when supporting data cannot be independently verified.

 

Paper records, spreadsheets and closed proprietary platforms do not provide the shared, immutable data layer required by modern food supply chains. As a result, businesses remain vulnerable to fraud, compliance failures and reputational damage.

The Solution

UNISOT is a blockchain and AI-powered supply chain platform built on the scalable BSV blockchain. It creates a shared data layer for agricultural products, enabling secure, transparent traceability from farm to fork while integrating seamlessly across stakeholders.

Digital Product Passports

• QR codes provide instant access to a product’s full history, including origin, processing, transport and storage

• Enables both forward and backward traceability across the entire supply chain

Immutable Event Logging

• Temperature monitoring, transport conditions, processing events and transfers are timestamped and digitally signed by each participant

• Creates tamper-evident audit trails that cannot be altered or deleted

Multi-Stakeholder Verification

• Farmers, processors, logistics providers, exporters and retailers sign and verify their own data

• Accountability is distributed across the supply chain, removing single points of failure

Rapid Recall Management

• Immediate identification of affected batches and distribution routes

• Reduces recall response times from days to minutes

Regulatory Compliance Automation

• Real-time Digital Product Passports aligned with EU food safety and sustainability requirements

• Eliminates manual reporting processes across borders

Consumer Transparency

• Consumers can scan products to verify origin, production methods and certifications

• Direct feedback channels strengthen engagement and reinforce trust between producers and end customers

The Outcome

UNISOT demonstrates how public blockchain infrastructure can underpin a new standard of transparency and accountability in food supply chains:


End-to-End Visibility

  • Immutable records from farm to consumer eliminate blind spots and enable full traceability


Fraud Prevention

  • Signed and verified data at every stage reduces mislabelling and origin fraud


Faster, Safer Recalls

  • Instant product identification protects consumers and limits financial damage


Regulatory Readiness

  • Automated Digital Product Passports simplify compliance with evolving EU and international requirements


Operational Efficiency

  • Shared blockchain infrastructure reduces reconciliation, duplication and administrative overhead


Consumer Confidence

  • Transparent and verifiable supply chains rebuild trust in food quality and sustainability claims

As UNISOT states:

“Agriculture needs transparency that works across borders, companies and systems. A public blockchain gives farmers and consumers the same version of the truth.”

UNISOT illustrates how the BSV blockchain operates as neutral, scalable infrastructure for global supply chains, protecting brands, enabling regulatory compliance and laying the foundation for trusted and transparent food systems worldwide.

FAQs about....

What is blockchain?

Blockchain is a distributed digital ledger that securely records transactions across multiple computers. This ensures transparency and prevents fraud. Once verified, data cannot be altered, making it ideal for sectors like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. The BSV blockchain further builds on this by offering fast, scalable transactions while enabling smart contracts, secure transfers and immutable records – all with a low environmental footprint.

A blockchain works by storing data in blocks that are linked in a chronological chain. Once data is recorded, it cannot be altered without agreement from the rest of the network, ensuring security and trust.

Blockchain is the underlying technology, while Web3 builds on top of the blockchain to create decentralised applications (dApps) and enable user-owned internet experiences.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique digital assets that represent ownership or proof of authenticity of a specific item on the blockchain. This can include anything from artwork to music to collectables. Unlike crypto assets, NFTs are not interchangeable because each one is distinct and cannot be replaced with another.

Web3 is a term used to describe the next version of the Internet, known as the Metanet, powered by blockchain. The Metanet enables a more efficient, transparent and monetisable data ecosystem than the current Web2 Internet.

Blockchain offers benefits like enhanced security, transparency, efficiency, and the elimination of third parties. It can be used for everything from financial transactions to supply chain management and voting systems.

A smart contract is a self-executing program on a blockchain which automatically enforces agreements when predefined conditions are met without needing third parties.

Digital assets are anything of value that exists in digital form, such as crypto assets, tokens, or digital records, which are stored and managed on a blockchain. Blockchain provides a secure, transparent, and distributed platform for creating, transferring, and verifying the ownership and integrity of these digital assets.

Decentralised applications (dApps) are applications that run on a blockchain rather than a centralised database. They typically operate using smart contracts, offering greater transparency, security, and user control while removing the need for third parties.

The risks for most blockchains include scalability challenges, high energy consumption, and the potential for hacking or exploitation in poorly designed smart contracts. However, the BSV blockchain is capable of massively scaling to handle millions of transactions per second, which means the CO2 produced per transaction is significantly lower than other competing blockchains.
