This DPP leverages IOTA technology to enhance transparency and traceability throughout the lifecycle of electronic devices, following their earlier Battery DPP initiative.

This prototype, part of the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) initiative, utilizes IOTA’s technology to enhance transparency and traceability throughout the lifecycle of electronic devices.

New Prototype Enhances Electronics Lifecycle Management

As part of the European Blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement project funded by the European Commission, the IOTA Foundation has developed two pre-commercial applications for Digital Product Passports (DPPs). The description reads,

A DPP can cover various product types: from primary and secondary materials to components, assembled modules, brand-new products, and individual products with specific configurations and usage histories. In this use case, we focused on unique electronic/ICT products.

IOTA is currently seeking commercial partners to help advance this solution to market, aligning with their Battery DPP initiative. For this, they invite organizations interested in revolutionizing lifecycle management in the electronics sector to explore partnership opportunities.

At the time of writing, IOTA is trading at the price of $0.1297, having surged by 1.33% in the past day and a decrease of 13.90% in the past week. See IOTA Price chart below.
