Provenance you can prove.
Trust you can scan.
Meridian records what actually happened to a consignment — plot, harvest, collection, packing, inspection, departure — as standards-based events, signed by the people and authorities who were there. Anyone holding the pack can check it, without taking our word for anything.
One record of the chain.
Every actor, every handoff.
Kenyan produce passes through many hands before it reaches a shelf abroad, and each pair of hands has kept its own paperwork. Meridian replaces that with one shared, standards-based record that every participant writes to and anyone downstream can check.
Verifiable credentials
Registrations, certifications and inspection results are issued as W3C Verifiable Credentials, signed by the authority that granted them. A buyer checks the signature, not the letterhead.
Standard supply chain events
Every handoff is recorded as a GS1 EPCIS 2.0 event — the same vocabulary the rest of the world's supply chains already speak, so the record travels without translation.
Two ledgers, two jobs
Hyperledger Fabric is the permissioned operational ledger between participants. Batches of credentials are Merkle-rooted and anchored publicly on Polygon, so tampering is detectable without trusting any Meridian server.
Reaches the smallholder
A farmer with a feature phone and no data bundle still sees their lot status and credentials over USSD. The chain does not start at the packhouse — it starts at the plot.
Built for what buyers must prove
Geolocation captured at farm registration, certification credentials carried with the consignment, and an inspection trail — the evidence EU deforestation and food-safety requirements ask an importer to produce.
One scan, the whole story
A GS1 Digital Link code on the pack resolves to the public Verification Portal. No account, no app, no relationship with Meridian required.
Every role has a door.
One platform, but nobody uses all of it. Find the surface built for what you do — from a feature-phone menu for a smallholder to a full oversight console for a regulator.

Open standards, so you never have to take our word for it.
GS1 EPCIS 2.0
The event vocabulary is the GS1 standard, not a Meridian invention. An external system can read the record without an adapter written for us.
W3C DIDs and VCs
Identity and certification use open W3C specifications, so a credential Meridian issues can be checked by software Meridian did not write.
Public anchoring
Credential batches are Merkle-rooted and the root is written to a public chain. Inclusion can be proven independently, without asking Meridian anything.
Authority-signed, not self-declared
A certification credential is signed by the body that granted it. Meridian carries it; Meridian does not vouch for it.
Every hand in the chain, represented.
A traceability record is only as good as its thinnest link. Meridian gives each participant a tool that fits how they actually work — offline in the field, on a scanner in the packhouse, on the cheapest handset a shop in the village sells.
