Avalanche & Blockticity Bring Global Supply Chain Standards Onchain

Global trade is getting harder as new tariff rules required by regulators in each country and tougher enforcement audits create big risks for companies, manufacturers and logistics providers using unverifiable or fake documents. At the center of that shift is a growing need for trusted, verifiable data.  

Today, Avalanche and Blockticity’s founders co-authored the new standard published by ASTM (D8558-25) international standard, which gives businesses a clear way to prove where the origin of products come from and whether documents are real and verified. By aligning with this standard, enterprise customers are able to rely on blockchain technology to protect their real-world supply chain assets.  

The goal is modernizing a system that touches trillions of dollars in goods every year, and impacts everyone’s lives directly. By anchoring critical supply-chain data onchain, businesses can move away from fragile PDFs, stamped documents, and email chains, and toward a shared source of truth that’s more efficient, more transparent, and built for global scale.

Why This Matters 

The new ASTM D8558 standard establishes a four-step conformity assessment framework for verifying materials and documenting compliance from the very start of production through customs clearance:

• Traceability – Track and Trace Software tracking materials from their origin all the way to final destination.

• Authentication – Ensuring documentation and Certificates of Authenticity are tamper evident and time stamped from their origination.

• Validation – Operating the conformity assessment method using an internationally published standard .

• Oversight – Approval of the entire process by the authority having jurisdiction of the final destination.

Industries facing rising scrutiny—such as critical minerals, electronics, and advanced manufacturing—stand to benefit immediately. The ability to prove where materials came from, how they were processed, and whether they meet global standards can save companies time, lower legal exposure, and reduce costly delays at the border.

Why Avalanche 

For supply chain participants, the challenge isn’t just storing data—it’s proving that data is trustworthy, available, and fast to verify across many stakeholders. This is where Avalanche stands out.

Performance built for real business volume. Trade systems handle thousands of events per second across multiple countries. Avalanche’s architecture is designed for high throughput and predictable finality, ensuring documents stay reliable even when systems scale.

Low, stable costs. When enterprises anchor compliance data, they need costs that don’t swing wildly. Avalanche’s efficiency and low fees make long-term, high-volume data commitments sustainable.

Flexibility for industry standards. Whether it’s a global manufacturer or a customs authority, Avalanche supports the creation of purpose-built networks (Avalanche L1s) that let institutions adopt blockchain without compromising privacy or control.

When Blockticity’s verification tech runs on Avalanche, the result is a platform where shipments, certificates, and test results can be authenticated instantly—helping governments enforce rules and helping companies prove they’re doing things the right way.

A Glimpse Into the Future

The implementation of ASTM D8558 is part of a broader shift: industries are moving from static paper documents to verifiable digital systems that can reduce fraud, improve sustainability reporting, and open the door to new, efficient trade processes.

Most importantly, use cases like this demonstrate why Avalanche continues to be one of the most compelling platforms for real-world adoption. As more standards bodies, enterprises, and governments look for technology that can actually support their mission-critical systems, Avalanche is positioned to become the foundation they build on.
