Want to Know Where Your Coffee Comes From?

As part of Cardano's Catalyst Fund 7, a full-featured Coffee Provenance App was built in a record 4 days by just one developer. Before we get into how it was done, let’s see what the DApp is about.

Coffee Provenance App - Home Screen

One of the key features of the Coffee Provenance App is the ability to generate a QR code that, once scanned from the coffee packaging, allows you to trace the origin of where the coffee was farmed, processed, roasted, and packaged before being delivered to your neighborhood cafe!

Coffee Provenance App - Coffee Journey

If you are a coffee connoisseur and you care where the coffee you drink comes from, you will be interested in the provenance and integrity of the coffee; that it originates from where it says it is from, throughout the entire supply chain. And won’t it be nice if you could use your phone to scan a QR code while you are at your favorite cafe and get the entire history of your coffee supply chain right at your fingertips?! 

Interested? We are certain you would be!

So, How Is It Done?

Coffee Provenance App - Batch Details

Here is where Joget and Cardano come in.
  • Needed a no-code/low-code platform to start building without programming skills, that’s where Joget delivers.
  • Needed a secure and energy efficient blockchain to store all the information from the supply chain, tada! Cardano!!
Coffee Provenance App - Manage Coffee Batches

Combined, the two open source platforms came together and we delivered the following:
  • All the data on where the coffee was farmed, processed, roasted and packaged are written into the Cardano blockchain through the Joget app, and subsequently, these data are immutable and cannot be manipulated or changed.
  • Cardano blockchain technology holds the power to reshape transaction transparency by facilitating transactions in a decentralized and immutable network, lowering its associated costs and risks.
  • The app built on Joget allows information to be recorded and collected by the stakeholders throughout the entire supply chain from farmers to distributors to retailers.
  • When a QR code is scanned from the packaging, the consumer is taken to a Joget app where all the coffee provenance can be traced. Consumers will be able to see the date and time of when the coffee beans were harvested, processed, roasted, etc.

Coffee Provenance App - Inbox for Incoming Packages

We understand that some of you might need a more technical how-to explanation, here you go:

As part of the Cardano's Catalyst Fund seed funding initiative designed to boost the adoption and development of technology associated with the Cardano blockchain project, we saw where we could really build a meaningful app that matters and applied to be part of the initiative. Hence, a Coffee Provenance App.

In partnership with Wada, an African blockchain awareness-building organization, and Securities and Commerce Institute, a software and financial services consultancy, the Joget-Cardano no-code/low-code approach to building DApps, named “Accelerating Enterprise Adoption”, was top-voted by the community in the “Nation Building Dapps” category and thereby awarded funding through Cardano's Catalyst Fund 7.

What started out as an app submitted for a competition is now being repurposed to meet the needs of the cocoa industry, and was subsequently showcased to some of the largest cocoa industry players in Ghana, which incidentally is the world's second-largest producer of cocoa.

Security in Low-Code Applications: Cybersecurity Features and Best Practices for the Joget Open Source Platform

Introduction to Security Benefits and Risks in Low-Code Platforms As digitalization becomes increasingly prevalent, low-code platforms are rapidly gaining adoption across industries. Employing visual techniques to programming, they enable the development and delivery of applications in a fraction of the time required by traditional coding. According to Forrester’s Now Tech: General-Purpose Low-Code Development Platforms, Q1 2021 , low-code platforms are “vital to digital business” and “proven in even the most mission-critical use cases”. However, the proliferation of apps and digital solutions bring with it increased cybersecurity risks like phishing attempts and ransomware attacks. As the SolarWinds hack in 2020 and Microsoft Exchange hack in 2021 demonstrated, the cost of security lapses can be monumental. Security considerations are therefore paramount, so how would they apply to low-code platforms? Source:  Don’t Ignore Security In Low-Code Development, Forrester Research Inc...

Superapps in the Enterprise: Up, Up and Away!

 “We think these applications are so compelling that we don’t just call them apps, we call them super apps… Super apps are applications that once you start using them, you’ll wonder just how you lived without them” - BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis. What is a Superapp?  In the early days of the smartphone revolution, BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis first coined the term “super app” (or “superapp”) in a MWC 2010 keynote speech . He defined them as “a closed ecosystem of many apps that people would use every day because they offer such a seamless, integrated, contextualized and efficient experience.” According to Gartner®, “a superapp is like a Swiss army knife with a range of component tools (miniapps) that the user can use and remove as needed”.  We consider superapps to be a single platform where miniapps are integrated, thus providing a seamless experience to its users. Here are some statistics and predictions from 2022 Gartner Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2...
