Proving what a product is made of, at scale
Verida lets manufacturers publish a product's materials, origin and lifecycle as credentials that any buyer, auditor or inspector can check for themselves. The trust layer underneath it runs on EBSI.

The Vision
A market where claims can be checked
A shopper choosing between two jackets, a corporate buyer assessing a new supplier, an inspector auditing at a border: each is historically asked to take a product's credentials on pure faith.
We are working towards a market where the claim arrives with its own proof attached, checkable in seconds by whoever needs it. VERIDA is built to sit alongside the ERP and traceability systems companies already run, not to replace them.
Legacy Unverified Claim
"This garment is crafted from GOTS-certified organic cotton."
No proof attached. Requires manual supplier outreach and physical document chasing.
VERIDA Signed Passport
"GOTS Organic Certificate #4992-09"
Cryptographically signed by Onit Smart
The Challenge
Product claims travel further than the proof behind them
A garment reaching a European shelf may have passed through spinning, dyeing, weaving and finishing in four countries and as many companies. Each holds a fragment of the record, in its own format, and shares it by email when asked. Brands rebuild the same picture supplier by supplier for every audit; suppliers answer the same questions for every customer. The cost lands hardest on the smallest firms in the chain.
Fragmented records
No single actor holds a product's full lifecycle, so the record is reassembled by hand every time someone needs it.
Unverifiable claims
A PDF certificate proves only that somebody typed it. A buyer cannot confirm who issued it, or whether it has since been withdrawn.
Duplicated effort
Every brand, auditor and authority puts the same questions to the same supplier, and each answer is checked from scratch.

What changes when a claim carries its proof
Once a supplier's declaration is signed in a way that can be checked independently, it stops being a document to chase and becomes a fact to read. A dyehouse certificate issued once is accepted by every brand downstream without a fresh paper trail, and a recycled-content figure carries the identity of whoever measured it.
For the company issuing the information, one set of evidence serves every customer, auditor and market it sells into.
For the people relying on it, from buyers and recyclers to market surveillance authorities and consumers scanning a label, the check takes seconds and does not depend on trusting whoever made the claim.
Neither holds the product data. That stays with the company that owns it, and only a cryptographic hash reaches the ledger.
How It Works
From factory floor to independent check
Five steps connect the manufacturer's systems to an independent, cryptographic check anyone can run.
01
A product gets an ID
The manufacturer registers a product, batch or lot in Verida, and the platform creates a decentralised identifier for it on EBSI.
03
It ships with the product
A QR code or NFC tag on the product or its label opens the passport, so it reaches whoever handles the product next.
04
Anyone can run the check
A scan returns the credentials as a signed presentation. The verifier confirms the signature, the issuer's accreditation on EBSI and the timestamp.
05
The claim stands alone
A buyer, auditor or authority knows who made each statement and that it has not changed since, without contacting the manufacturer.
The Project
Verida: product passports for manufacturers
VERIDA is a multi-tenant service developed by Onit Smart, part of Gruppo Onit, in Cesena, Italy, with Clust-ER Create as regional partner. Onit Smart is an accredited EBSI Trusted Issuer, and its CEO co-signed CEN CWA 18291:2025, the European guideline for textile product passports. First pilots run with Italian textile and fashion manufacturers, the sector facing the earliest obligations under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. Each product or batch gets a decentralised identifier, drawing lifecycle events from the ERP, MES and machines already in place and issuing them as credentials a QR code can open.
EBSI Infrastructure Role
EBSI provides the registry of decentralised identifiers, the register of accredited issuers and the timestamping that fixes a credential in time.
