Under the hood

The ledger engineered for freight

Drayage Blockchain is a purpose-built blockchain for supply-chain records: fast enough for gate events, private enough for rates, and permanent enough for audits.

The anchoring pipeline

From paperwork to proof in four steps

01

Ingest

A record arrives from your TMS, portal or the API — rate conf, BOL, POD, gate event or payment milestone.

02

Hash & sign

The full payload is fingerprinted with SHA-256 and signed by every party with Ed25519 keys.

03

Anchor

The hash, signatures and timestamp are written into the next block and linked to the parent block.

04

Verify

Anyone with the record can recompute the hash and check it against the chain — in about 120 ms.

Architecture

Built like a chain. Tuned like a freight system.

Most chains are built for currency. Drayage Blockchain is built for documents and events: high-volume writes at port-gate speed, selective disclosure for commercially sensitive rates, and an audit trail regulators can rely on.

Cryptography does the trusting for you

SHA-256 hashing

Every record is reduced to a unique cryptographic fingerprint. Change one character of a BOL and the hash no longer matches the chain.

Ed25519 signatures

Carriers, brokers and shippers sign with their own keys, so every approval is bound to a verifiable identity — not an email thread.

Merkle proofs

Individual records are provable against a block root without revealing the rest of the block — verify privately, share selectively.

Immutable storage

Blocks replicate across 510+ validator nodes. There is no admin button that rewrites history — for us or for anyone else.

Questions

The fine print, in plain English

Is shipment data public on the chain?

No. Only the cryptographic hash, signatures and timestamps are anchored on-chain. The underlying documents stay in your systems — the chain proves they haven't changed without revealing them.

Do my partners need a Drayage Blockchain account to verify?

No. Every anchored record gets a shareable verification link that recomputes and checks the hash in the browser. Accounts are only needed to anchor new records.

What happens if a record is corrected later?

Corrections are appended as new versions linked to the original — the history shows both, with who signed what and when. Nothing is ever overwritten.

How fast is anchoring?

Records are accepted in milliseconds and final after one block (~2 seconds). Verification against the chain averages 120 ms via the API.
