COIN (Coffee Source Information)

COIN uses unique and secure QR codes on coffee packaging to make information about the coffee journey (harvesting, roasting, shipping) accessible to consumers with an intuitive mobile interface. To ensure product journey data integrity, all product journey data is stored in a blockchain to guarantee immutability of the data and address questions around consumer trust. This empowers consumers to verify brand claims, such as 100% sourced from farmer cooperatives etc.
