Decentralization, Traceability, and Web3
Corax CoLAB uses blockchain technology and Web3 to secure your data, guarantee traceability, and create unparalleled trust.
We use the technology to solve concrete trust issues in supply chains.
Trust in a Data-Driven World
Web3 and blockchain technology solve urgent challenges regarding transparency and security. Corax CoLAB uses this power to create verifiable "digital receipts" for every step in your process – from raw material origin to digital assets – thereby building robust and transparent trust in your value chain.
The Source of Truth
Blockchain creates an immutable ledger. This allows us to guarantee the origin of a crop or the health status of a battery.
Smart Contracts
Our developers program smart contracts to automate processes. For example, a payment can be released automatically when a GAPbot confirms that a mission is completed.
Trust through Decentralization
By eliminating central intermediaries, we reduce risks of manipulation and censorship. This builds robust and transparent trust between all parties in a supply chain.
The Cornerstones of a Decentralized Future
Web3 and blockchain are more than just buzzwords; they are foundational technologies reshaping how we handle data, ownership, and trust. Think of them as "digital infrastructure" handling contracts and traceability, impossible to forge. Corax CoLAB uses these to build a new generation of industrial solutions where transparency and security are built-in from the ground up.
Blockchain: The Immutable Ledger
A blockchain is a digital, immutable ledger where every event is cryptographically linked. The result is a permanent and verifiable history that is virtually impossible to manipulate, which is the basis for guaranteeing authenticity and origin.
Web3: The Internet's Next Evolution
Web3 is the next generation of the internet, built on decentralized networks. Instead of relying on intermediaries, Web3 gives control to the user and enables direct and secure collaboration through technologies like smart contracts and digital identities.
Why is this important for Corax CoLAB?
For you as a customer, this means an indisputable chain of evidence for everything from raw material origin to autonomous robot data. Our expertise is crucial for you to meet regulatory requirements like EUDR and the AI Act, build trust with your partners, and enable entirely new, secure business models.
From DBP to NFT
Corax CoLAB's strength lies in our ability to transform complex blockchain technology into concrete, business-driving solutions. We meet today's and tomorrow's demands for transparency, security, and ownership in a digitized world, from ensuring origin with Digital Battery Passports to revolutionizing intellectual property with NFT licensing and guaranteeing regulatory compliance in supply chains.
Digital Battery Passports (DBP)
We implement the complex data model DIN DKE SPEC 99100. By creating a digital twin that is dynamically updated with data on battery health (SoH), lifecycle, and carbon footprint, we secure resale value and meet EU legal requirements. Output is serialized as JSON-LD for semantic interoperability, ensuring that all actors (manufacturers, recyclers, regulators) interpret data in exactly the same way. GAPbot acts as an "AAS Submodel" provider, continuously updating the passport via a PQC-secured telemetry link, and validating data with zero-trust principles.
NFT for IP Licensing
We use NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) to license unique AI models, for example, a specific weed recognition model or a complex optimization algorithm. This creates a scalable, token-based revenue stream and enables secure and traceable distribution of intellectual assets. Our integrated NFT Marketplace offers a transparent platform to buy, sell, and manage licenses for these digital assets, ensuring authenticity and ownership through the blockchain.
Supply Chain & EUDR
Blockchain creates an indisputable, immutable Audit Trail that proves the origin of raw materials, which is critical for Due Diligence declarations under EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation). Our `eudr_validator.py` implements the strict Point vs. Polygon requirements and handles integration with the TRACES SOAP Bridge to ensure complete traceability and compliance. This minimizes risks and strengthens trust throughout the supply chain.
Transparent and Secure Data Logging
Each GAPbot generates real-time data that is tracked and logged securely, from sensor readings to performed tasks. We use a PQC-secured MQTT connection for telemetry, which protects against future quantum attacks. This data forms a robust "4D Audit Trail" – a traceable and timestamped history of the robot's positions, movements, and collected data, visualizable via Deck.gl. This is crucial for EUDR audits, proof of autonomously performed tasks, and for meeting Data Act requirements.
Security and Regulatory Excellence
For those who want to dive deeper into how we secure and regulate our decentralized solutions, we present here the technical details behind our uncompromising strategy for security and compliance.
We solve the problem of "harvest now, decrypt later" by implementing a Hybrid Cryptographic Scheme based on NIST-standardized, lattice-based algorithms.
- Kyber (ML-KEM): Used for Key Encapsulation Mechanisms. The slower, quantum-resistant Kyber algorithm is used to exchange a fast, symmetric AES-256 key. The fast key then encrypts the high-frequency MQTT telemetry itself.
- Falcon (ML-DSA): Used for Digital Signing of firmware updates and critical control signals. Its minimal signature size is crucial to avoid excessive bandwidth usage in Edge environments.
This future-proofing protects Corax CoLAB's and our customers' data and systems against future attacks from quantum computers, guaranteeing long-term integrity and confidentiality.
Our blockchain module uses a Terminatable base class that implements a terminate() function. This can only be invoked by a multisig wallet (Multisignature Wallet).
This ensures robust access control and guarantees that the contract can be terminated if necessary, as the law requires. By hardcoding regulatory requirements directly into the system's logic, we achieve "Compliance-as-Code" and a critical market advantage that minimizes legal risks and maximizes transparency.
