Abstract

Under-recognized artisans are continually confronted with the problem of certifying hand-made products and the shady aspect of their carbon footprint in both online and real-world markets. The following paper suggests a combined Web3 and AI-based ecosystem, which will empower the artisans by providing provenance, authenticity, and sustainability. NFTs and smart contracts based on blockchain provide tamper-proof records when authenticating each product. At the same time, AI algorithms allow tracking carbon in real-time and streamline sustainable processes throughout the supply chain. This semi-closed system manages the lack of trust, which is considered in relation to the modern trends in eco-friendly business. Studies describe the architecture of the ecosystem and its experimental validation, which implies greater transparency, lower verification cost, and a greater level of trust of users in decentralized trade.
