Global marketplaces are increasingly demanding provenance-informed products

4

Buyers

Conscious buyers are seeking more granular information to form their own provenance

opinions beyond a mere label of assurance from a central

certifying body

Sellers

Sellers are looking to unlock value, increase trust and

command premium for their special product lineage

Regulators

Reliably, continuously and expediently track, audit and report on provenance of key

natural resources

Blockchain provides a native infrastructure for transparency, traceability and traded...

5

Transparency

A product narrative about howit is sourced, manufactured and packaged - responsibly,

sustainably using quality ingredients

Traceability

A source narrative that a product item/batch traces back to. The source could be an ingredient,

a region etc.

Trade

An ownership narrative that allows items to be claimed,

transferred and traded fluidly

...that can solve trust problems that span across industries

Business Processes

● Progression of assets through various steps of a business process(s) is recorded on chain for lookbacks and evidenceof trail

Business Actions

● User or machine initiated action that allows assets to progress from one process state tothe next

● User actions unrelated to process state required for performing administrative and corrective functions

Actors

● Users that interact with the asset to perform process actions and transform the asset from one state to next

● Users that have ownership or custody of the asset

● Users that participate in audit, review and attestation of theasset to validate history

Role Permissions

● A class of users performingsimilar actions or functions are grouped into Roles

● Permissions to perform business actions are assigned by roles

● The web interface and smart contracts enforce the permissions preventing rogue users from tampering

Assets

● Any Physical or Digital entitythat requires to be tracked

Attributes

● Asset attributes of interest (what), ownership (who), time (when), location (where) etc.

Signed transactions

Permissioning

Cryptographic key-pairs

...that can be applied to virtually any supply chain and business process

Digital assets

Smart contracts

Signed transactions

Permissioning

Cryptographic key-pairs

● Enforce the business process(s) on chain curbing rogue actions

● Execute asset transfer

● Digital assets registries used for accounting purposes

● NFTs allow certification and tradability of asset

● Trigger smart contracts execution and state changes in the process

● Guarantee non-repudiation of the supply chain actions

● Establish on-chain identity for all the actors in the supply chain

● Enable tracking of asset ownership and custody

● Smart contracts can implement whitelists and blacklists at the asset and process level

● Pantheon’s privacy groups and side-chains can segrate informations at the node/chain level

Leveraging blockchain-based provenance, new business models will emerge

A powerful result of the below capabilities is a liquid market and the fractional ownership of assets. Expands access to assets to a wider range of potential seller, buyers, and investors.

Once the identity of an asset is established and its provenance can be verified, the next logical layer can incorporate solutions such as frictionless payments, auction, inquiry opportunities, collateralized debt financing, provenance informed insurance etc.

Leveraging cryptographic security and smart contracts. Blockchain provides organizations verifiable insights as assets, which are managed and propagated through the entire supply chain.

Analytics

Powerful analytics capabilities at each layer of the platform. Opening up existing users to new possibilities and exposing new users to an entirely new offering.

Treum key components allow to model and track any supply chain

[Confidential - Not for further distribution]

Modeler / Allows business users to model processes, list assets, define attributes to track, determine UI requirements and deploy everything to the blockchain

Access Manager / Allows a system manager to add roles, users and set permissions within a specified organization for who can execute actions and see the journey of each asset

Network Manager / Allows a network administrator to provision organizations or vendors as a designated organization and manage specified instances within the permissioned blockchain

Tracker / Allows end users to view the provenance and journey of an asset and allow users to create and view the status of any asset in real time - this is where business happens

Treum key components allow to model and track any supply chain
