What CardanoTrace is

CardanoTrace is an open-source supply chain traceability API and SDK built on the Cardano blockchain. Plutus smart contracts record product lifecycle events on-chain, with tools for working with events, lots, assets, and policies. Its stated use cases range from farm-to-fork supply chains to pharmaceutical logistics, and its scope is end to end. The project describes its architecture as modular and event-driven, designed for data aligned with GS1 and ISO standards and portability. It says it works with existing systems and standards. Developer resources include typed SDKs such as TypeScript, clean APIs, and end-to-end examples; the Python quickstart is marked as coming soon. The repository describes a FastAPI REST API, a Python SDK, and a QR code service linked to blockchain transaction IDs, while its roadmap marks API development in progress and the QR service and Python SDK as upcoming. CardanoTrace is released under the MIT License and describes its code as auditable and peer-reviewed. Its site displays a waitlist call to action.
