We’re happy to announce the release of our much anticipated application suite which allows marking items on the blockchain! Our application suite can mark items whether digital or physical onto the Ethereum network directly via a simple, easy to use UX/UI where all costs are imposed by the Ethereum blockchain, and the Devery protocol in a decentralised manner.

At this stage there are very few (if any) working mainnet applications on the blockchain and Ethereum network for product verification, let alone verification applications that transparently use ERC-721 to mark products on the blockchain in a decentralised manner (all markings can be seen easily on the blockchain).

This forms the central core of the extended product suite as this application links to the NFC application, Reading application and the Ethereum blockchain. Our team has been looking forward for this release as it forms the culmination of our development, debugging, design and core development team for this release.

Designing an application that is both decentralised and secure is a complex task. Ethereum is still in its infancy and there are no specific design patterns that are certain to be used in future. ERC-721 can be further used to reduce gas costs on the Ethereum networks or users can opt for a unique marking as well as providing ownership functionality. Our application suite aims to show the power of the Devery protocol and serves as a working example of a cross compatible suite of verifying items on the blockchain.

How it works —

We’ve aimed to keep the application suite as simple as possible, allowing any user to simply visit the website & use the application provided they are not from restricted jurisdictions. It is a very easy to use user interface that allows the user to mark items on the blockchain with ease.

Three Easy Steps -

Mark a product directly onto the blockchain using the marking application and go through the entire marking process as guided via the application. This is a long process and requires a Web3 browser such as Metamask.

Be careful when going through this process as it’ll require transactions to be signed directly on the blockchain. Fees are collected by the Ethereum network and do not go to us directly. If you’d like to mark via NFC chips, download our Android NFC Writing application and write with ease to an open standard of supported NFC chips (ACR122U & SCL3711).

These are an open standard of NFC chips that users can easily source at there disposal. These are not patented and can be bought by anyone. Read the product using our already released reading application. The application allows reading of QR, Ethereum address and NFC codes. As well as this users can now switch between testnet and mainnet for reading their markings.

Warning: Blockchain technology is constantly being developed. Things can and will go wrong. Use with caution and at your own risk. The application is still constantly being tested, so use with caution. It is still being actively developed.

We recommend Ropsten testnet if you are unsure of what you are doing. Gas prices change constantly, as the Ethereum network constantly changes. Check https://ethgasstation.info/ for live gas amounts.

We’ve chosen to release these apps on markery.io, which is the project link to allow anyone to use these applications. As always use at your own discretion, as the application is deployed on mainnet. As well as this certain aspects are ongoing development and are likely to change. s

Other Upcoming Projects & Phase three update

In anticipation of our phase three, and our development of applications in preparation of this phase, we’ve used the lessons learnt from the design and development of this application in order to inform the architecture and design decisions of future apps. These apps will also be released over the coming months which will form projects available in phase three. Internally we have four teams working on applications for warehouse logistics, a certification authority, the current marking suite as well as another testing all these for use. We’ll be working to make these available over the coming months.

In line with this we are looking for those interested in taking on applications that are open to licensing for those that are interested in running a project. We are in a unique position in that we will have a number of applications in development that utilise the blockchain and are looking for individuals/developers whom want to take the helm and utilise these applications in industry. Through licensing the code over to those interested in selling via B2B or B2C it encourages an ecosystem of verifiers as opposed to a one size fits all approach congruent to our goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s next?

We’ll be further refining & developing this application suite to ensure it works seamlessly as well as preparing the development, debugging, and release of two other commercial verification applications in a specific sector of logistics and the other in the certificate authority space.

What comes after current plans?

At this stage we are testing a number of applications which will be made available at the commencement/or in the lead-up to phase three. Despite this, there is much internal planning which must take place in order to ensure we are successful in these launches.

We’re also hiring! So if you’re in the product management, a developer, have experience with strategy in startups or more send through an application to contact@devery.io!
