In order to have up-to-date information about each stage of the production process, we proposed using blockchain technology. This will give us transparency at all stages, the immutability of the information collected and ensure guaranteed quality at the exit, and the ability to prevent cyber attacks is inherent in the very principle of a decentralized blockchain system.», − high school students comment.
