Vineyard Vantage by SmartGrow Agritech

Climate variability and sustainability pressures are reshaping global supply chains, particularly in agriculture. Vineyard Vantage, developed by SmartGrow AgriTech with SmartLedger, leverages IoT and blockchain to give vineyards real-time, verifiable insights into weather and climate conditions. By recording environmental data directly to the BSV blockchain, Vineyard Vantage delivers operational intelligence for producers, verifiable ESG reporting for regulators, and transparent traceability for consumers – strengthening every link in the agricultural supply chain.

Challenge

Wine producers face volatile yields, regulators demand transparency and consumers are losing confidence.

Climate-sensitive operations: Frost, heat, and rainfall directly impact yields and quality.

Manual, siloed data: Recordkeeping across spreadsheets and disconnected systems leads to errors and gaps.

Compliance and ESG reporting pressures: Regulators and investors demand verifiable evidence of climate practices.

Consumer demand for transparency: Buyers increasingly want proof of sustainable and ethical production.

Traditional IoT dashboards collect data but lack the integrity, permanence, and transparency required for supply chain-wide trust. Without a tamper-proof system, claims about sustainability or climate conditions are difficult to prove.

Solution

Vineyard Vantage combines IoT weather sensors with blockchain to capture vineyard data in real-time, secured by BSV blockchain for tamper-proof ESG reporting and transparent consumer QR codes.

IoT Data Logging

Records vineyard-specific weather data—temperature, rainfall, frost risk—directly on the BSV blockchain.
Scaled to over 1.4 million daily transactions in trial deployments.

Actionable Insights for Producers

Tailored dashboards provide frost alerts and climate intelligence, improving yield and reducing waste.
Weather-informed decision-making boosts operational efficiency by 50%.

Supply Chain Transparency

Immutable, timestamped weather records can be shared with distributors, retailers, and regulators.
QR codes on wine bottles allow consumers to view verifiable weather summaries from cultivation to harvest.

Blockchain Advantages

Scalable: Capable of millions of IoT data transactions per day.
Cost-efficient: Ultra-low fees make high-frequency logging economically viable.
Immutable: Permanent audit trails safeguard compliance and reporting credibility.

Conclusion

Vineyard Vantage shows how agricultural data can transform the supply chain into a transparent, resilient, and accountable network.

Yield & Efficiency Gains: 30% higher crop yield, 40% less waste, 50% improved efficiency.

Compliance Confidence: Immutable climate data strengthens ESG reporting and insurance claims.

Consumer Trust: On-product QR codes prove authenticity and sustainable practices.

Supply Chain Resilience: Real-time monitoring ensures better planning against climate risks.

As founder Alexander Mann explains:

“BSV clearly emerged as the most forward-thinking and scalable blockchain to support a truly global agricultural data network.”

By bridging IoT and blockchain, Vineyard Vantage sets a model for climate-sensitive supply chains worldwide, from grapes to almonds, apples, and beyond.

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.

How does blockchain work?

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.

What is the difference between blockchain and Web3?

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

What are NFTs?

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.

What is Web3?

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.

What are the benefits of blockchain?

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.

What is a smart contract?

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

How are digital assets related to blockchain?

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.

What are dApps?

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.

What are the risks of blockchain?

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.
