Using blockchain technology to track the journey of the fabric

· ·

Supima is using blockchain technology to track the journey of the fabric from the seeds planted in the field, through the harvest, yarn making, and fabric creation, all the way to the products you wear and finally to the store.

From Supima: The SUPIMA® licensing program has been the cornerstone of the Supima organization for over 40 years and has been essential in highlighting and identifying all the superior products that our brand partners have been making using American-grown Pima cotton. To that end, Supima is excited to announce it will be transitioning its licensing program to a digital and forensically verified platform.

Beginning January 2023, Supima will be implementing a robust licensing platform that will further enhance the credibility and value of the SUPIMA® brand. This revolutionary platform will be a standard-setting industry benchmark for combining digital traceability and transparency with physical authentication, providing an unrivaled level of confidence in both the content and provenance of Supima products.

What is blockchain?

Blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network. 

An asset can be tangible (a house, car, cash, land) or intangible (intellectual property, patents, copyrights, branding). Virtually anything of value can be tracked and traded on a blockchain network, reducing risk and cutting costs for all involved.

Why is blockchain important?

Business runs on information. The faster information is received and the more accurate it is, the better. Blockchain is ideal for delivering that information because it provides immediate, shared, and observable information that is stored on an immutable ledger that only permissioned network members can access. A blockchain network can track orders, payments, accounts, production and much more. And because members share a single view of the truth, you can see all details of a transaction end to end, giving you greater confidence, and new efficiencies and opportunities.

Python: HTML’s cousin, or brother?

· ·

Python and HTML are not siblings or cousins in a technical sense, but they can be used together harmoniously in web development projects.

Python and HTML might be considered friendly neighbors in the world of web development. While they have different roles and responsibilities, they often work together harmoniously to create dynamic and functional web applications.

Python, with its versatility and ease of use, can handle server-side tasks such as processing user requests, interacting with databases, and generating dynamic content. HTML, on the other hand, defines the structure and content of web pages that users interact with in their browsers.

Together, Python and HTML form a powerful duo, enabling developers to build feature-rich web applications that are both interactive and engaging. They may not be directly related, but they complement each other well, making them valuable assets in the web development toolkit.

In the realm of web development, Python and HTML serve different purposes and are not directly related in terms of their roles or functionality. Here’s a breakdown of their relationship:

  • HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): HTML is a markup language used for creating the structure and content of web pages. It defines the elements and layout of a webpage, such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, etc. HTML documents are interpreted by web browsers to display the content of a webpage.
  • Python: Python is a general-purpose programming language known for its simplicity and readability. While Python can be used for web development (with frameworks like Django or Flask), it’s not inherently tied to HTML or web development. Python is used for a wide range of applications, including web development, data analysis, machine learning, scripting, and more.

So, Python and HTML are not siblings or cousins in a technical sense. However, they can be used together in web development projects, where Python may be used for server-side scripting (handling requests, interacting with databases, etc.), while HTML is used for defining the structure and content of web pages. In this context, they complement each other to create dynamic and interactive web applications.
