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.

1. Introduction Joget is an open source low-code/no-code application platform for faster, simpler digital transformation. Previously, we have seen how we can integrate Hyperledger Fabric with Joget . So in this article, we will look at a no-code approach to integrate another popular blockchain technology, specifically the Cardano blockchain, into a full-fledged web application. 2. What is Cardano? Cardano is a third-generation, open source, decentralized proof-of-stake (PoS) public blockchain platform, that aims to be a decentralized application (DApp) development platform with a multi-asset ledger and smart contracts . It is also home for the cryptocurrency ADA. The blockchain operates on the Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus protocol. Compared to first-generation proof-of-work mechanisms like Bitcoin, instead of relying on powerful machines solving complex cryptographic equations to achieve consensus and compete for block rewards, the proof-of stake mechanism relies on end users s

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 2023: Superapps

Blockchain technology is one of the most talked about and rapidly growing areas of technology today. It is built on a number of key elements, each of which plays a crucial role in the functioning of the system. In this blog post, we will demystify and break down some of the key ingredients of blockchain technology and explain the inner workings of this revolutionary new wave. 1. Introducing Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Coins, Fungible and Non-Fungible Tokens Blockchain: as an overview, blockchain technology is a decentralized digital ledger that is used to record transactions across a network of computers. Its decentralized nature makes it resistant to tampering and modification, creating a transparent infrastructure for users to store and transfer their digital assets.  Cryptocurrency: (as a broader term) is a digital virtual currency that is secured by cryptography as a means of securing communications and using key-pairs as a provable identity, to execute transactions on the blockch
