HOW IT WORKS

How AgriHash Powers Transparent Agricultural Trade

From wallet connection to escrow settlement — understand how decentralized batch provenance and multi-sig smart contracts work together.

STEP 1

Connect your wallet & choose a role

AgriHash uses wallet-based Web3 cryptography for user identity. No passwords to remember — your cryptographic address is your sovereign account.

01

Web3 Wallet Identity

Connect MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or WalletConnect. Your public key serves as your unique ledger sign-in key.

02

8 Specialized Roles

Choose from Farmers, Processors, Warehouses, Transporters, Inspectors, Auditors, Retailers, or Consumers.

03

Role-Based Permissions

Each role unlocks specific smart contract capabilities — e.g. Farmers mint batches, Inspectors sign quality assays.

STEP 2

Register in three simple steps

The exact 3-step onboarding interface you encounter when registering your node identity on Base L2.

01

Node Identity

Provide your Operator Full Name, Business/Farm Name, Country, and City. This populates your public ledger identity card.

02

Operational Details

Enter role-specific parameters such as farm size (hectares), facility storage capacity, or transport fleet refrigerated units.

03

IPFS Document Pinning

Upload business licenses or certifications. Documents are pinned to IPFS, assigned a SHA-256 hash, and signed on Base L2.

Estimated registration gas fee: under $0.05 USD

STEP 3

What happens after you register

Explore how each role interacts with the batch ledger throughout the agricultural supply chain lifecycle.

Minting Batches & Processing Transformation

Farmers initialize crop lots by calling the mintBatchNFT function. The lot token records origin GPS coordinates, harvest dates, crop variety, and initial lot volume. Processors then sign handoffs when washing, milling, or converting raw cherries into green export beans.

ESCROW SETTLEMENT

Payments & escrow explained simply

How AgriHash removes payment default risk while protecting both buyer and seller.

01

Escrow Lock

Buyer deposits purchase funds into the non-custodial EscrowManager contract. Funds cannot be withdrawn unilaterally.

02

SLA Timer

Oracle timers monitor transport telemetry. If delivery is confirmed within agreement parameters, countdown proceeds.

03

Auto-Release

Upon port arrival verification, funds automatically transfer to the origin farmer without bank delays.

04

Dispute Ruling

If moisture or quality fails, counter-evidence is audited by a 5/7 multi-sig regional jury to issue impartial refunds.

GOVERNANCE

Community decentralized governance

AgriHash protocol parameters are not controlled by a single centralized corporation. Key parameters — including SLA window grace periods, arbitrator fee structures, and protocol grants — are proposed and voted on transparently by network participants.
