Nagoya Protocol

Access to genetic resources and benefit sharing

According to the Nagoya Protocol (see Wikipedia) when genetic resources are bought (for example tomatoa seeds) the data of the buyer and seller (or sender and receiver) has to be stored for 30 years.

This project can be used to set up a platform, that enables users to conduct transactions and store the relevant data in a blockchain (BigChainDB).

Prototype

We are currently working on a prototype. As soon as it will be ready, we will publish the link here.
