The process is straightforward and transparent. When a fisher catches seafood, they input details—species, amount, date, and location—into a smartphone app or webpage. They then negotiate its value with buyers, often asking for a small percentage (e.g., 1%) of the seafood's worth in Fishcoin tokens in exchange for their data.
This data lives on the blockchain, a tamper-proof database that ensures the information cannot be falsified or altered later. As the seafood moves through the supply chain—from catch to processing to retail—its traceability data remains attached, traveling with the product until it reaches the consumer.
