“100% Made in Italy” Brand to Leverage the Internet Computer Protocol

The DFINITY Foundation has partnered with FEDERITALY, the organization behind the “FEDERITALY 100% Made in Italy” brand.

FEDERITALY is a non-profit organization that promotes and protects Italian entrepreneurship around the world. The DFINITY Foundation and FEDERITALY have partnered together to develop a FEDERITALY Dapp that will be used to enhance the services offered by FEDERITALY.

FEDERITALY works with over 7,000 companies, associations, foundations, cooperatives and professionals of all sizes and in all verticals. This international organization is present in all Italian regions and has offices in 20 countries around the world. Companies registered with FEDERITALY will now be able to benefit from the speed, security and transparency of the Internet Computer blockchain through the FEDERITALY Dapp.

“We are excited and proud to bring the benefits of the Internet Computer blockchain to FEDERITALY. FEDERITALY operates on a global scale, bringing trust and transparency to consumers around the world, similarly the Internet Computer blockchain has brought the promise of a truly decentralized internet — a “world computer” to the masses. FEDERITALY has protected Italian entrepreneurship for decades, this partnership with the DFINITY Foundation means that Italian entrepreneurship will always be protected as the Internet Computer blockchain is a tamper proof and infinitely scalable network, free from centralized cloud computing services. FEDERITALY has taken a leap forward into the future and is leading the way for international organizations looking to use blockchain technology to improve their services”.

— Dominic Williams, Founder and Chief Scientist at the DFINITY Foundation

The FEDERITALY Dapp will allow a producer to apply for the “FEDERITALY 100% Made in Italy’’ label — producers will be awarded this label only after an extensive audit by FEDERITALY. Once the audit is complete and the label is awarded to the producer, a certificate is created on the Internet Computer blockchain. The product is given a QR code that corresponds to this certificate. The consumer can then scan the QR code on the product and retrieve the certificate from the Internet Computer blockchain. The certificate includes information about the product, its producer, the manufacturing process, material details and certification process.

Trust and Transparency

The benefit of FEDERITALY implementing the Internet Computer blockchain into its verification service means that it removes the need for consumers to put their trust in any third party and improves transparency. Consumers no longer have to rely on a service running on centralized cloud services which often experience down time.

“The Federitaly brand, FEDERITALY 100% Made in Italy, offers a unique chance to showcase and preserve our excellence globally. We ensure seriousness and trustworthiness to consumers and businesses through a rigorous certification process and the use of blockchain technology. With the support of the DFINITY Foundation, we have established an innovative and technologically advanced method of securely transporting our excellence globally. Federitaly has invested significant resources and effort into this ambitious project, thanks to the leadership of Bruno Calabretta (head of the FederItaly blockchain project) and the visionary mind of Dominic Williams (founder of DFINITY and creator of the ICP protocol). This collaboration represents a perfect blend for our Italian excellence.”

— Carlo Verdone, President of FEDERITALY commented on the FEDERITALY incorporating the Internet Computer blockchain into its services saying

Speed and Scaling

As a growing and ambitious organization, FEDERITALY must keep pace with Italian entrepreneurship. The Internet Computer blockchain was designed to scale infinitely, meaning it will continue to operate regardless of the growth of FEDERITALY. Currently, the Internet Computer blockchain can process almost half a billion transactions per day, including the pre-finalized “query call” transactions involved with serving a web experience. This is significantly more transactions than any other blockchain processes daily.
