Cryptocurrency was built on the idea that people should not have to blindly trust a central authority.

Open-source software is a natural extension of that philosophy.

While modern supply chains are incredibly sophisticated, they can also be difficult to track, vulnerable to fraud, and slowed down by paperwork. Blockchain technology offers a new way to improve transparency, traceability, and collaboration throughout the entire process.
