Blockchain-Verified Product Ledger & Certifications
We’ve launched the Product Ledger with blockchain-verified audit trails and certification anchoring — bringing tamper-proof product history, integrity checks, and verified sustainability credentials to xProduct.
🚀 Major Feature Release: Product Ledger & Blockchain Verification
This release introduces a powerful new trust layer to xProduct with a full blockchain-style audit ledger, certification verification, and integrity checking across the product lifecycle.

📜 Lifecycle Events Now Tracked
The ledger now records key product lifecycle actions, including:

- TemplatesSelected
- TemplateUpdated (per template key)
- ProductImageUpdated
Each event is hashed, chained, timestamped, and verifiable.
⛓️ Blockchain Certification Anchoring

- On-chain status tracking: Pending / Confirmed / Failed / Revoked.
- Transaction hash & block number stored and displayed in the UI.
- Direct links to Polygon (Amoy) block explorer for independent verification.

🧾 Certification Management Improvements
- Dedicated Certification Library with assign/remove per product.
- Expiry status handling: Valid / Expiring soon / Expired / No expiry.
- Support for annual recertification workflows.
- New Bulk Replace tool to swap expired certifications across many products in one action.
🖥️ New User Interfaces

🛡️ Platform Hardening

🔮 What This Enables Next
- Manufacturer accounts with verifiable production history.
- Public trust view of certified & verified products.
- Regulatory-grade Digital Product Passport audit trails.

This release establishes xProduct’s core trust infrastructure — a tamper-proof foundation for compliance, sustainability, and verified product transparency.
Improved Navigation, SEO Pages & Layout Fixes
We’ve just rolled out a new update focused on discoverability, usability, and layout stability across the xProduct platform. This release improves how visitors explore xProduct publicly, while also fixing important navigation issues for logged-in users.
What’s New
🔎 New SEO-Optimised Product Pages
We’ve added a new set of public-facing pages explaining what xProduct is and how it works, designed for both search engines and first-time visitors.
- Digital Product Passports
- Public Product Pages
- QR Codes & Labels
- Sustainability & Compliance
- Integrations (Shopify, WooCommerce, eBay)
These pages clearly explain xProduct’s value for brands, retailers, and future EU compliance — helping customers understand the platform before signing up.
🧭 New Top Navigation Menu
We’ve introduced a new top navigation bar for public users, making it easier to explore:
- Product features
- Industry use cases
- Solutions
- Resources
- Pricing
The navigation is now clearer, faster, and works consistently across desktop and mobile devices.
🛠 Sidebar & Layout Fixes (Logged-in Users)
We’ve fixed an issue where the left sidebar navigation could overlap or clash with page content and dropdown menus.
- Correct stacking and positioning of the sidebar
- No more overlap with top navigation or content cards
- Cleaner layout across dashboards and editor pages
This makes working inside the app smoother and more predictable — especially on complex pages.
Carbon Footprint Calculator launched
We’ve introduced a new Carbon Footprint Calculator to help businesses quickly estimate their annual emissions and better understand their environmental impact.
The calculator allows you to estimate your yearly carbon footprint (tCO₂e/year) across key activity areas, including:
- Electricity consumption
- Gas usage
- Vehicles and transport
- Flights and air travel
Totals update live as you type, making it easy to understand which activities typically contribute most to overall emissions.
This tool is designed for:
- Early sustainability planning
- Internal reporting and awareness
- Initial footprint estimates before formal assessments
If you’re preparing a Digital Product Passport, this estimate can be used as a practical starting point before moving to verified datasets or third-party carbon accounting providers.
This calculator provides an indicative estimate only. It is not an ISO certification, audit, or verified emissions report.
For transparency, users can review the full calculation methodology directly from the calculator.
