One of the more active members of the Chinese community became one of the first VeChain channel partners by registering black tea on the blockchain. This is a great example of how small and medium sized enterprises can use Toolchain to gain access to blockchain solutions.

The tea uses QR codes to provide customers with more complete product data. With items like black tea, the origin can be the difference between valuable and ordinary tea. However, origin can be easily faked because packaging is often self-produced. Having blockchain-backed data can help with building trust and educating customers who might be unfamiliar with the techniques and history of the tea-producing farms.

Since the community member, nicknamed GuaiGuai, is very active in the community, he has even put the product up for sale on WeChat and is accepting RMB, VET, VTHO, and ETH. Currently he is working on implementing his solution into other eCommerce portals, to expand his domestic market.

ToolChain is VeChain’s BaaS platform, that gives approved users access to the same powerful tools used by large enterprises like Walmart China. For more information, visit this post by community member Wilson Cheah.
